Where I live, teachers make out like bandits. They complain about how difficult it is, but their salary and benefits far outclass all but the highest paid professionals. It is almost impossible to get a permanent job as a teacher, because it so highly sought-after.
Part of me says it's worth it to have good education, and another part of me gets pissed at hearing every day how bad teachers have it, when they get summers off, and retire after 30 years (often at age 55) with full guaranteed pension.
