Nothing. What’s wrong with being a teacher? Anti intellectualism pushing American stupidity.

Nothing, it’s pretty satisfying work really. Similarly, everyone should continue to study, learn, and educate themselves

Not a fun job for people with germophobia.

Apart from social prestige and low income depending on where they live and work - and these things could be absolutely fixable and I sincerely hope there will be a flip in them - it’s the physical labor.
No matter how much prestige this job will ever get, how good the money will pay - it will always end up being taxing on the body. Especially with little technological help provided. I get back pain after 2 hours of mopping the floor, I cannot imagine doing this every day. For years and years and years. I cannot imagine mopping the floor close to retirement age and doing the heavy lifting that is necessary in this job.
Not that physical labor is “wrong”. It is the most important form of labor there is and I personally think that these people should be put on pedestals and admired in our society and get the highest pays. Because they are paying with their health and body. But I do think that this taxing aspect would be why, even if it was a socially prestigious job, a lot of people would still opt out.

Teacher spouse comes home absolutely wrecked after an 11-hour day, often falls asleep at 8:30 pm on workdays. Goes in on weekends to catch up on the workload.
The cushy jobs are the admin.
