Perhaps it depends on the State or Region.
NY & NJ teachers live for their bloated salaries, benefits, perks and pensions and continuously bitch like hell how they have it worse than coal miners.
Annoying and boring.
Do you know anyone who thinks they're overpaid for what they do?
The opposite...I know teachers complain about how impossibly hard their profession is and how nobody else can do it.
Is what you do so easy that anyone could do it?
Before I was kicked out of software development by Bill Gates and Business Visas I had few peers.
But I could have been much better with inter-personal relationships.
In my current profession, the technical part can be taught in a few months if taught properly.
My current interpersonal skills are way above average and I am always called upon to settle very heated situations with customers.
Have I ever actively bitched about how hard any of my jobs have ever been? No.
Did I ever go out of my way to tell others they couldn't do my job? No.
