    Wait… I spent 5 years learning engineering and spent 9 years in the industry to make the same amount as a WI teacher? Actually, not even the same, since they work half the time and apparently have far better benefits.

    Holy crabapples – I do think that teachers deserve more, but shouldn't there be a line?
