I don’t have kids but have worked as a tutor on a indian reservation (read combat duty) and while I agree with what you say SD about pay I don’t think to say that teachers have the same training as us engineers. That simply isn’t true or even close!
But to have to deal with kids… Man that is so much more difficult (in a different way) to deal with.
I just take objection to the training…
Still love ya though! 😛

So the 3 years of teacher training in addition to a bachelors is weak?
Also, very few teachers work 6 hours a day or 9 months a year.
Generally that only applies to very unmotivated elementary school teachers or those on a part time schedule.[/quote]
Sorry man… But only 50 percent of all people that enter an engineering program make it out… I dare say the drop out ratio for teaching isn’t the same and if it is its due to lack of commitment and not subject matter.
You cant sit there and tell me one is just as difficult academically (which I probably just misspelled) as the other. Plus… Many engineers study there subject matter constantly… They are in “training” everyday… I read and re-read all the time. I don’t have to have formalized training the training comes from working with very unique problems everyday.
I have a lot of respect for teachers but you still can’t say its the same difficulty academically.
Also I dont know if you were referring to me but I did not say that teachers work 6 hours a day. I stated that the ones I knew worked 40 plus.
