Yea, they need more teachers like that. IMO Teachers should be paid 4million a year, and entertainers should be 70k a year. That's how it should be. T.O. doesn't need 5mil+ a year, a Teacher with great reports and feedback from students need that. That's how this world would thrive.

Actually I wasn't til I was reminded by you. Entertainment is a luxury, not a necessity. Saving peoples lives, teaching kids, is a necessity. Too bad the pay differential teaches the wrong values. You can make $$ by being athletic and with a country that centers around $$, it's too bad other professions don't make more. Then maybe people would want to be those professions instead.
