Says the man who used teachers as an example? No offense, Ro, but that just sounds petty. Anyone worth their weight in spit will make more than a teacher by age 25, most by 21 or so. And, that wont require the mandatory 3% paycuts (last two years) and $250K in education costs to make that tiny salary. Hell, most still have to fork over $5k-$10K, annually, in continuing education costs (non reimbursable).
Teaching as a profession isn't germane to the argument, really.
To truly digest and comprehend what Sherman's saying, first thing READ THE ARTICLE. Second, think about your own profession. If you had to; work for free (while risking paralysis) and know your peers (MLB, NBA, NHL) have guaranteed contracts, make more money, have better after care, pensions, healthcare, etc. you'd gripe a bit too. Rightfully so.
Now its the players fault, really. They bent over, like they always do come CBA time. But, Sherman has a valid point.
I take it you had a serious crush on one of your teachers in junior high, or something?
