I am saying that there are more people that can be teachers than can be those in certain other professions (like bankers or doctors).
My uncle is the president of a very successful bank, which started off as 1 location and now has over 50 branches. He didn't go to college. By your logic, I guess I could say that anyone can be a banker.

All of the people I know who are teachers have masters degrees, becfause if they didn't get those degrees, they wouldn't be considered "highly qualified" and could be fired. Maybe it isn't like that in every state, where there are teacher shortages, but it is common. Did you ever think about why there are teacher shortages? It's because it is a very difficult and demanding job with relatively low pay for the education you have to have. I couldn't do it, and I really appreciate those of you who do. I think good teachers deserve every bit of the money a doctor, lawyer, banker, etc. makes.
