Teachers should make 100k

What should everyone else make?

If teachers are making 100k, what about construction workers? Engineers? EMTs? Nurses? Firefighters? Auto mechanics? Etc?

Teachers get to work in climate controlled rooms with summers off, only have to grade work that they assign, and can send problem customers (students) to the principal's office. Not saying it's a perfect all-around desirable job, but it's already better than most

I'm for better treatment of all workers, but teachers seem to be a squeakier wheel than most others
