[quote=ninaprincess]I think mid career Engineers get around 100k for the same training, so 80k is not too much for teachers.
From the article, the higher range salaries are much higher than the mid career number. So mid career is not the MAX. “The highest salaries offered range from $91,144 at Fountain Valley Elementary to $111,701 at Laguna Beach.”
Comparing mid career engineers to teachers through a generic statement is absolutely absurd. How is the training of a computer engineer in anyway similar to that of a english teacher or physical education teacher.
Moreover, engineers don’t get to unionize like teachers do. If engineers could unionize like teachers we would not have a Google, Apple or Qualcomm here in the US…. If teacher salary was based purely on supply and demand, their salaries would be much lower.
