Median income US: $48,625
Median income France: $29,131
You could take 1/3rd of the year off and still earn more.
Stuff like this gets baked into wages…

Cool, can I take a third of the year off here in America and still keep my job?
Otherwise, I think I’ll take the lower pay plus all the days off and the free healthcare.

Depends on the job, that’s what a teacher does, and the average teacher salary is double the median french salary

Teachers in the US definitely do NOT “take the summer off”, as someone who has an SIL that’s a teacher. That time winds up getting filled with lesson planning, adapting to new curricula, meetings with administration to discuss new curricula or books, and usually working a second job because your school is, most of the time, not paying you to do any of that.

It definitely depends on the type of teacher. My mom is a teacher but for her current job doesn’t need to do much planning so does get it off

Teachers do not get free healthcare. I have no idea why you’re even suggesting it.

What’re you talking about? I didn’t say anything about healthcare or health insurance. But I will say now, full time public school teachers do get health insurance usually
