I used to think teachers made decent money and had summers off until I had a kid in school and I saw how their worked. They work eight hours a day at school, and after hours they grade papers and plan out the following day's lessons - being as they can teach five or six classes, that's a bit complicated to do on a daily basis and after hours at at that. Then, more often than not, they have to attend after school events. They also coach our kids in after school sports programs. Summers off aren't summers off; They attend classes to keep their education up to date, and also spend time planning out the next year, etc.
Pretty crappy job for $50k a year really. Then you figure the average cashier at Wal Mart makes $40k a year and doesn't have school loans, and well, you get what you pay for.

Of course, this doesn't take in to effect that they might get shot and killed at any moment.
The CHP officer who lives across the street from me just bought himself a little BMW, cute car. Good for him. He deserves it for what he puts up on a daily basis.
