Get real 180 days of teaching at best from 7:30am until 2:30pm which included a lunch period, home room, and time off between periods. 11 - 12 days off for Christmas and Easter, Thursday thru Sunday off at Thanksgiving along with 10 days in June, all of July, all of August. That doesn't even compare to the 2080 hour work year for the minimal employee and much more for more dedicated employees. Along with a very generous pension. Most people would gladly trade for those benefits. And please don't embarrass your self by saying they could have chosen that path also. They don't even compare to the engineering degrees, be it chemical, civil, or electrical degrees.
