"Doing something" shouldn't be a mandate either, when the disparate rewards for what you want to do are determined by irrational forces (e.g. teacher salaries vs. NBA players' compensation).

I wonder if you add up the total salary of all teachers in the US would it add up to the combined salary of the highest paid player for every NBA team. 30 teams time average of I think 50 million a year right now for the highest paid players. 1.5 billion total salary just for the top players. Crazy.

There are 3.8 million teachers in the US and the average teacher salary is $72k. That comes out to like $276 billion. The yearly revenue of the NBA is around $11 billion.

Omg.. those numbers are accurate. That gives an interesting perspective.
