I never said one was better than the other. Don't put words into my mouth, please. I picked what was best for me, what I found to be most appropriate and enjoyable for myself.
And, not to be rude, but there are plenty of teachers out there that aren't as smart as me. Looking at some of the people that I know are teachers, I can say for certain that I'm smarter than they are. I'm sure there are some that are smarter than me. But that goes for anyone. Don't go looking for something that's not there in my post

1. People in different professions do learn new things everyday. And since they are all different professions it isn't the same kind of knowledge. So I'm confused why law is more intellectually stimulating vs. teaching or another profession.
Teachers, business people, or even doctors learn new things. Microbiologists learn new things. Chemists learn new things. There is no real way to measure the amount people learn in their professions across the board to compare it to others.
2. You never said one was better than the other (literally), however you did say that you couldn't believe that teachers were making more than you do since you have a law degree.
3. Chances are there are also a ton of lawyers out there that are probably as smart as doorknobs too. If you never had any teachers of any kind- elementary, high school, college, law school, or even those LSAT prep courses (do they have those?), you wouldn't be a lawyer.
