If the unions ever accepted pay differential (which they won't), it should include what sort of degree they have. For students in social sciences, humanities, and fine arts, teaching is about the best job they can hope for. By a long shot. Which is why teachers are overwhelming drawn from those fields, and few have backgrounds in science, engineering, math, and other technical studies. We'd see more, and better, teachers from those under-represented fields if there was a pay differential.
