Good luck finding one with 10 weeks vacation, 6 hour days and a fat pension.

I've taught a few courses at a college level. The one thing I always joke about (but not actually joking) is that I owe a lot of teachers an apology. The amount of work needed to do a good job is crazy. obviously the longer you do it the more material you have in place. But with constantly change curriculum etc. and just the fact of marking for 30+ kids it takes a #### load of time. The 6 hours a day is a joke number, its probably more like 10.
I've worked hard jobs before, I worked higher up jobs. And the hardest I worked was when I was teaching courses. And I was only teaching a few at a time. The desire to do a good job and wanting to add value to 30+ students also means likely, the better a teacher you are the more hours you are actually putting in.
Not to mention the virtually free hours teachers do for sports and clubs.
So a comment like this is ignorant. I don't blame you, I just assume from this is you don't have kids, or never worked in a similar industry and just don't realize what it is like. And another thing UCP voters should think about, better education would improve and diversify the economy long term!
