    I appreciate the sentiment, but I get paid decent money, too. The “teachers don’t make anything” myth is really just select portions of the US. Once I am finished my masters, I’ll be well above the 6-digit mark in CAD.

    Though you’re certainly on to something in that more impactful jobs tend to get paid less. Even in the school, watching the support staff who work with our highest need students, knowing that I’m probably a tax bracket above them… Well, it feels very unfair, to say the least.

      I think everything is unfair in our lives. You know, stuff like looks, health, intelligence, parents, country, everything.

      But it doesnt help that our societies are adding extra not needed unfairness on top :)
