    When I searched to post that, I find that yup- you are correct, they make about 8% more than the average worker. However, they have been losing ground ever since 1996.
    Sure they are. The have the only profession where people are mostly uneducated and never seek any kind of post-graduation knowledge. Most teachers are ignorant dumbasses who spend their whole life repeating the same script for the same set of subjects.

    Yet we leave our kids with these folks: the worst kind of human beings in the planet.
