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

[Wojtek S]

In the DC area teachers can make $100k if they have lifetime seniority. The
entry level pay is more like $40k.  MD median wage is about $55k.  In other
words, teachers don't make that much given their qualifications and unpaid
overtime.
