The much higher salary makes up for it, but you can't seriously expect teachers to get the same salary as lawyers.
- ChrisMarshallNY 4y agoMany teachers have better education than lawyers. One of the reasons that the NEA is such a powerful union, is that its members, are, by definition, educated to a Masters Degree, or better.
- ekianjo 4y agounions are one of the reasons nobody likes teachers
- amusedcyclist 4y agoWhy not ? I would argue that most teachers provide a more valuable service than most lawyers (For my definition of value atleast). Lawyers have strict licensing requirements while teachers don't, which would be one of the major differences
- ChrisMarshallNY 4y agoIn NY, teachers have to pass exams, and get certified. I could ask my friends for details, but I know they need to do it, because I hear them bitch about it.
- idontpost 4y agoTeachers have strict licensing requirements in literally every state. Although the bar exam specifically is probably harder than any single component of teacher licensure, overall they are comparable, as teachers have more components.
