When I was in teaching, I felt the new teachers should be paid as much as the oldest teachers because the job was more difficult for a new teacher than someone who is supposedly experienced in the filed.

Now, that's just plain silly.

Think about what you're saying. In essence what you're saying is that the new check out person should be paid as much as the long time check out person, the new fireman as much as the old-timer, the new pilot as much as the senior pilot. All because the new guy always has to work twice as hard just to keep up. What are you gonna do with the new baseball player, spot him a couple runs to make sure it's fair?

Earth to Mike...........time to leave la la land and come to earth.

If I'm really good at what I do, it takes me one hour to do a job a less skilled person may take all day to do -- if at all.

Now, that's just plain silly.

No, think about it. If you like what you do, you do it without making financial compensation your primary goal. You mentioned pilots... A LOT of them do it because they really like zooming around in the skies, the money sometimes comes later. Good teachers like to teach, and if thet get paid well, that is good also. But pay is not the determining facter.

MikeHu makes some thoughtful and reasoned arguments. Please give them some thought before blindly responding with a knee-jerk reaction.
