I mean... It's probably also true in Europe

Teachers are fairly decently paid where I live but the job is shit so nobody wants it. They don’t employ enough teachers so everyone is being worked to death, and they keep adding new admin tasks, reporting tools, standardised tests, etc that makes everything worse. Also they keep doing stupid reorganisations all the time.

I agree that it's not one of the worst paid jobs overall, but if you apply the logic of the headline, I'm pretty sure no teacher in Europe can buy a house with their income

Its one of the worst paying jobs that requires specific training and schooling to get into. How could they possibly pay for that plus the COL?

Ah yes Europe, my favorite singularly governed country.

By that, I meant "It's probably also true in European countries". You must be fun at parties.

I am, thanks! I’m willing to bet this is happening in Asia too. Probably not Antarctica though.
