I wish more people understood this. I spent the first twenty years of my career as a public school teacher, and the last four as a software engineer. Most of the teachers I knew worked _literally_ twice as hard as the average software engineer I know now, even though they're paid one third as much. And finding good teachers is just as difficult as finding good ICs. I think the ONLY difference is that it is possible for a lot more people to teach badly than to code badly. And of course that society has decided that teachers aren't worth paying very much.
