I had no idea of the comparative wages, so thanks for providing some
context.

I forwarded the ad because I couldn´t possibe imagine an electronics
assembly line worker having the lost dream of being in front of a
classroom. (when I read "teacher" I think elementary school, not
secondary/university ed.).

So, "she could be a teacher" yes. She could also work at a gold mine. But
would she *want* to?. ;)
