I don't think starting teachers complain that much. I think it's that their wages don't increase by the same factor that their job gets shittier year after year thanks to budget cuts, larger class sizes, more bureaucracy,etc.
In many places, teachers have taken pay cuts as well. Like, 2020 take-home salary is 5% smaller than it was in 2000. I mean, if they pull in 60k they aren't starving, unless they live in San Francisco or something, but I can understand why they'd be unhappy that their job is getting harder while simultaneously making the same or less money.
