I don't know what electronics factory workers make now, but my recollection was that, in FL, they typically made $12-18/hr, tops $40k, in Tampa Bay area.
Teachers aren't well paid considering their education requirements and considering the supposed importance of what they do. There's a lot of rhetoric in the united states about how important it is that we have fabulous teachers given that it supposedly teachers who make all the difference in the world - according to the rhetoric.
i.e., everyone believes that the most important teachers in terms of impact is a kindergarten teacher, but she is usally paid the worst, where high school teachers - where it's often too late (in common understanding) -- are paid the best.
