Unfortunately, most teachers go straight from school to their careers. I believe a pre-requisite is needed to work in a corporate environment where you are expected to work 50-60 hours per week making the same amount (around 60 to 70K) 2-3 weeks vacation, little sick time, no pension, and people telling them what to do... I believe after that happens then those teachers who constantly complain how they are underpaid will understand that the salary, hours, summers off, and benefits are actually pretty good...
