Well for starters if both went on full strike as of tomorrow. Society would collapse from the massive amount of garbage first.
But mostly because Teaching is both a “women’s job” and secondly, it is a “passion” job. Everything that is someone’s passion always pays less because people will accept lower wages for their “passion”.
Also Garbage Collectors aren’t public sector in many places.
So what you’re saying is, teachers are actually the stupid ones for wasting time and money at higher education to work longer hours, have to work overtime at home for no pay, often have to buy their students supplies, and get about the same wage as a garbage collector?
No wonder the majority of my instructors were idiots, it’s a predisposition!
No, I’m saying teachers make considerably more than garbage collectors as in most places. I know they get next to nothing in deep red states but that’s not the norm.
Also garbage collection is probably hard on your back and not suitable to do for a whole career, and is probably pretty boring, though some people like a boring job
A brief search shows in the US the median salary for a teacher is at least 60k, while the median for garbage collector is around 40 to 50, they might make more than teachers in some places but that doesn’t seem typical.
Where do garbage collectors make more than teachers?
It’s a decent union public sector job and pays decently, but so is teaching and that requires more education.

As long as you use proper lifting form it’s not that hard on your back. Without it you won’t last long though.
Also here in belgium all garbage collectors I know earn more than the teachers I know.
Well I certainly wouldn’t want my job to have unexpected and interesting events if I was a garbage collector.
