PAs, doctors, lawyers, salespeople, insurance agents... even state workers...

Growing up in europe, I remember teachers being revered in our towns. Here teachers have a fairly poor social standing. I think the problem transcends starting salaries, which I agree are low.

5 of the 6 careers you listed are remunerated either directly through commissions or loosely related to sales ability. (Clue Doctors are learning that they are salespeople.) Government workers are not remunerated with much relationship to sales ability.

So please explain the link to teachers? I am not understanding how they are comparable.
