[lbo-talk] Do teachers in the US of A make more than an electronics factory worker?

[Fernando Cassia]

There´s something odd about this ad from the Missouri lottery.
(yes, it´s Flash based)

"You could be a millonaire. She could be a teacher...:" (pic of a woman
with a seemingly electronic circuit in her hand at what looks like a
factory background)

Not to mention the fact that the ´circuit´ she´s ´assembling´ on a
breadboard seems like taken out of a high school "understanding
electronics" project (one led and some caps, and lots of wires ;).

I thought teachers in the USA weren´t exactly well paid... ;) or perhaps
I´ve watched too many episodes of The Simpsons... So do electronics factory
workers dream of being teachers?. Or is this a marketing department´s dream
of the real world?. ;)
