"Khan Academy..A place where teachers make what an engineer would make, where the ideas we have can be on display"- Salman Khan
This pisses me off. It is income envy. If someone wants to study to get an education degree, God bless them. But for them to bitch and moan that they do not get paid enough is wrong.
Judging by the folks who went into education, it was not the best of the best. As a matter of fact some of the biggest party animals in school were education majors.
I am yet to meet a person who graduated with an education degree that would have been successful as an engineer. The skill set is just not there. Most education majors are general and could not teach an advanced math course if their life depended on it. Put a Calculus book in front of one and see the smoke coming out of their ears.
The line often given is that they teach the future generation and that is important. The market, even though people do not want to believe it, is not cruel. It evaluates your contribution and it sets a price for the business to make a profit off of your activities. If it looses money then it eventually goes out of business and someone figures out how to do it better and more economically.
Everyone has a purpose and a place. You can not elevate yourself by putting someone else down. You can not raise yourself by simply wanting it. It must be followed by meaningful work.
I bet most engineers would take the pay cut to reduce their level of stress or hours they work.
Today's question is:
"How would you like a two month vacation?"
