And I wasn't making the comment that 40k is shit money, it was more the tone of Rags post that I was referring to. And also they do make shit money for the job they do, the skills and education required to be a good teacher is far more than jobs that pay double and even triple in some cases. I have an aunt who has her masters, was nominated for teacher of the year in the state she taught in, had 25+ years of tenure, etc. She made a comfortable living, in the low 70s but we're hiring mid level java programmers and systems engineers for more than that where I work.
Also you can't just "adjust for hours worked", because that implies you can work another job during the 3 months you have off at the same rate which is very rarely the case.
