>Something similar goes through the heads of teachers that demand higher salaries. If salaries get really high, existing teachers won't be the ones parents will want to hire. They'll hire really highly skilled people that are currently in other more lucrative careers. If you look at Finland where teaching is a well compensated job, the people teaching are similar to people going into lucrative consulting or programming jobs. It's not the bottom performers from third tier universities, as in the US. Like there are a lot of skilled teachers working in other domains. There may be exceptions for match, programming and some other discipline that are working in a better paid job, Also to be a teacher you also need the teaching skill and to like working with children, so you will not see a programmer that hates teaching go and work in a school because of his greed.
