OTOH ... if they screw up - a handful of folks grow up forgetting the
wrong state capitol for North Carolina ... whereas if *some* computer
jocks screw up - a large number of shareholders lose a few million $$.

I agree, as a profession, that teachers are underpaid and
underappreciated.  But do I feel guilty about making more cash than the
teachers I have run across?  NOPE.   Not even a little bit.

..... Now *maybe* there are some really truely outstanding teachers
dealing with and making real progress with autistic kids or something
that might embarrass me -- but definately not the average
elementary/HS/Undergrad teachers that I've known.

(Who once had an hourly job tutoring math at a University when two
graduating Education majors came in asking about associativity.  "Great
question!", said I, "Hmmm .. I wonder what the best way to 'teach'
associativity would be?!" "No sir",  said they, "you misunderstand, we
want to know what associativity is". {I was pretty much appalled,
knowing that three months later - these folks would be out in the world
teaching your kids. [However, these folks didn't feel bad at all about
this - cuz after all - they were gonna be teaching 'science' ... and not
'math'.]})

You sit in front of a computer all day as opposed to standing in front
of
20-30 (or more :-() impressionable kids and think you should be paid the
same or more as them?? Uh, NO!
