I know this isn't normal across the country, but all of you complaining come teach in PA!
It's sad that the average teacher's salary from my HS is fairly likely to be more than i'll make starting out of law school.
and one third of them making over $75K????  it's no wonder the school taxes are so high!

I think teachers DESERVE to make more money. Maybe if their salaries are increased, more qualified people will want to become teachers. I never even considered it because I wanted to make more than $35,000 starting out.
I too will be making less coming out of law school than the 1/3 who make $75,000, but good for them! THey are making that salary after years of experience... I am making nearly as much with little work experience and a LOT of school. I will surpass those teachers in two years. Lawyers have unlimited potential to make money. Teachers do not.
