I'll chime in with my two penny's here. I do agree that pro sports players get paid too much, but that's called supply and demand. There is a very high demand in America for pro sports, and very few people who supply it. Therefore the amounts of money that is split up among those few athletes are very large sums. I agree that most of them are stupid and never actually graduated, but a few are very intelligent and have more than one degree. (Very few). But I also have the same belief for actors and musicians, most of them are completely stupid and ignorant people that don't deserve the lifestyles they live. ie. Jennifer Lopez, Sean Combs, Master P or whatever that dumbass' name is. They are all completely ignorant and have never contributed anything to society to make it better.
On the other hand, I also don't agree with paying teachers large salarys. I went to college with several guys and girls that became teachers. Most of them became teachers because they sucked at everything else. Dont get pissed at my statement, you know it's true. If you really get mad at what I just said, maybe it's because you also suck at everything else and that's all you are cut out to do. Someone has to fill those slots in the human race. Be proud. I will say this, most of the people that are teachers because they arent smart enough to do anything else were women. Yep, I said it.
Now, if you have your masters, I can see being paid a higher amount than normal teachers. But not that much more. Come on, teaching really isn't that technical of a field. The college you go through is very easy. Even the masters programs.
I am an engineering student, and I know that most,(not all) people who became teachers couldn't make it past the simple physics and calculus. And not that bulls*** physics, I'm talking about Engineering Physics and Technical Physics. And please don't come back saying, "I can do anything I set my mine to", sorry but you cant. You need more than memorizational skills to pass engineering courses.
I'm also curious of this. How much exactly do you teachers want? What do you get paid now? I know of one of my teachers in highschool that had about 15 years teaching and she had her masters. She was a very good teacher and I agree she deserved good pay. But still, she is only a teacher, not an engineer, scientist, physicist, etc. Her salary was around $55,000. Do teachers really expect to get paid much over that? Most of the girls that I knew that were going to college to become a teacher were dumb ass sorority girls that were just hoping to marry some frat boy that came from money. So what exactly is it that you expect when you go to college to get a non technical degree and go into a job field that pretty much anyone has enough intelligence to be successful in?
