I am a teacher too. It's alright. If you want money go give tuition, start your own centre etc. For the 30,000 or so teachers...the salary is alright. Yeah, maybe teaching ain't as sexy and attractive as being a lawyer or doctor, but how many people are lawyers and doctors? The majority are also working general office jobs doing marketing, PR, sales, administration, finance...very sexy meh? Earn a lot meh? Same what. The teaching salary is FAIR (not high or lucrative) like any civil service job. Of course if we compare to LTA, BCA, Army Special Forces, CID or those agencies that carry a higher risk...we won't earn as much. And teachers get holidays...PAID holidays. So, instead of seeing the cup half empty, look from another perspective. And if you think the salary is really not enough, change job lor. Sell property or something. Or now very trendy...go be content creator.
