Teaching degrees are easier to come by than degrees in, say, organic chemistry. Working conditions are safer than, say, oceanography. A lot of what happens in the world of salaries happens for sensible economic reasons.

So, tell me why firefighters make about the same?

Better, tell me why people are acting as though getting paid this moderate salary is making teachers greedy pigs ripping off the public.
