> Teachers are paid quite poorly, expected to do a ton of work, beyond their purview, unsupported by their administration, and regulated like crazy. Everyone can claim the same. Very few people will claim they are paid too well, or they don't have to do thing that don't exactly fit their job description, or their administration/management does not provide them the support they deserve, etc. Oh, and regulation? Lots and lots of trades have to deal with unreasonable regulation, don't ask me how I know. Here's the thing. This is a free country. Nobody's putting a gun at anyone's head and asking them to be a teacher. The teacher job may suck from some points of view, but it probably is quite ok from other points of view (like vacation, maternity leave, maybe benefits, etc). One way or another millions of people decide to be teachers. In the end, I like to tell people: 98% of jobs suck 98% of the time. If you manage to make your job suck only 90% of the time, you're having 5 times more fun than the average worker out there. If your name is Feynman, then probably your job sucks 0% of the time. But your name is not Feynman.
