So what you're saying is, teachers are actually the stupid ones for wasting time and money at higher education to work longer hours, have to work overtime at home for no pay, often have to buy their students supplies, and get about the same wage as a garbage collector?

No wonder the majority of my instructors were idiots, it's a predisposition!

No, I'm saying teachers make considerably more than garbage collectors as in most places. I know they get next to nothing in deep red states but that's not the norm.

Also garbage collection is probably hard on your back and not suitable to do for a whole career, and is probably pretty boring, though some people like a boring job

Well I certainly wouldn't want my job to have unexpected and interesting events if I was a garbage collector.

As long as you use proper lifting form it's not that hard on your back. Without it you won't last long though.

Also here in belgium all garbage collectors I know earn more than the teachers I know.
