42. Absolutely nothing.
But it's not about the job being easy. It's about the job not requiring as many qualifications as other jobs that pay better. I'm not about to say an education degree is BS, but I WILL say that from everything I know, it is easier to find people who CAN successfully complete, and will successfully complete those qualifications than it is to find, say, a person with PHDs in non-linear mathematics and quantum mechanics. Some skillsets are more in demand than others, can't find an adequate supply of workers, etc., and earn more than others. That's how it works. The skillset necessary to be hired as a teacher--which is different than the skillset to be a GOOD teacher--is not one which is, to our society, worth as much as others. Does that have anything to do with "ease?" No. Never said it did. It's just the way it is.
