Speaking as an engineer, those others should be more logical than
that! OK, maybe they shouldn't be paid as much as engineers (when teachers
screw up, people grow up with less potential than they should. When
engineers screw up, people die visibly in horrible accidents like bridges
falling down.) But that doesn't mean that teachers shouldn't be paid more
than they are, even if not as much as we make! There is a big range there!
