Well Played
The importance of education is drilled into us from an early age when our parents push us to learn as much as we can so we can get accepted to the best schools, graduate with good grades and land a job that will secure our financial future for life. That’s why we always assume the “smart” jobs rake in the most money.
However, the truth is that in the US, most teachers are paid roughly the same regardless of what subject they teach. There are slight variations in pay depending on how advanced the teacher’s degree is and how long they’ve been on the job, or if they have extra job responsibilities, but this PE teacher is telling the truth.
