People keep saying crap wages, but put some real numbers up here. What do you consider crap wages?

  Let’s just go with crap wages == whatever isn’t sufficient to keep enough people in the profession, such that you need to start recruiting wildly unqualified people just to fill the spot.

    You make the job bad enough, no wages will keep people in it.

    You almost had me at "whatever isn’t sufficient to keep enough people" but then dammit, you lost at "wildly unqualified people" If you mean "having an education degree" or "getting a grossly irrelevant teacher's certificate" then no, those are not "qualifications." Those are just the teacher's union contract provisions.

      There are some problems with the system you're objecting to, but the "veterans and random college students" qualification some places are moving to is... worse.

        no argument there.
