I don't think teacher's are over-compensated. But I also am not sure I would support the opinion that they are undercompensated. Most professionals (teacher's are professionals IMO) are required to put in overtime and are not compensated for it (vacation time or otherwise).
As for the nursing comment from a few pages back... from the time I spent in the hospital this year, I learned that being a Nurse is the complete opposite of an easy job. I always respected their profession before, but Nurses are on a whole new level of awesomeness for me now. Plus the shifts they have to work are horrible. I could never do it.
