That seems pretty reasonable for a person with professional degree. Engineers would be at a minimum of 100k by then.
What I would like to see would be the cash equivalent compensation they get once there pensions and extra vacation time is put in and compare that to the private sector. For example each extra week of vacation is worth about $1500. There pensions might make them very well paid.
I will say that the notion that teachers are paid poorly is definately false. But I don't think they are overpaid for what they do. The big thing that I think needs to be done is to get rid of that pay chart and make teaching competive. The best teachers should be paid the most instead of getting a set amount regardless of the work you put it.
