>>>>>> 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.

Yes, teachers make less than many in the private sector. Yet, there are STILL tons of teachers cranked out of universities every year. WHY?

a) 3 months of vacation, reasonable benefits, and short workdays are an attractive feature to many, and these features CAN BE HAD in a teaching job;

b) Not to take anything away from teachers or paint with an overly broad brush, because they certainly provide a critical service. But the reality is that a person who can learn math, physics or computer science with moderately hard work can become a teacher without cracking a book.
