I don't need to imagine. Teachers almost everywhere around the globe have poor salaries. In my country there are lower enrolment requirements to universities to become a school teacher than almost every other field of study. Means the dumbest students are there.

And then later they go to the school to teach our future, working with high stress and low salary.

Same with medical school in many countries where healthcare is not privatized. Insane hours, huge responsibilities and poor pay for doctors and nurses in many countries.

Nowadays everyone wants to be an influencer or software developer.




For teachers, sure. For medical doctors, in USA or Europe, I think they are much more paid than sw engineers.


In east EU, like Poland sw engineer makes two-three times more than a doctor with much less of effort, education and no responsibility.

And nurses - they work at minimal salary in Poland. Even in USA if you count hourly rates it will be quite poor salary for nurses.
