My mom's a lifelong teacher and she's making 2/3rds of what I make, at the age of 24, in the for-profit sector.

I have lived a good part of my life in Europe and teachers there are rewarded not just economically, but perhaps more importantly, socially. In the US a teacher's starting salary puts one close to the poverty line. I suspect this is but a piece of the education imbalance, but the best teachers remain teachers for passion or vocation. The US has additional problems that Europe does not share.
