Why do teachers earn more than nurses?

Zagreb Ebnem Zloty Diev

A registered staff nurse or midwife starts at €29,346 after registration. The industry standard for shift work involving nights is 30%, which teachers do not do.
So let's adjust the €29,346÷1.3 to give a salary less shift allowance.
That's €22,574. Nurses work 12-hour shifts, three days a week (correct me if I'm wrong) and work 48 weeks a year.
That's 1728 hours of work per year which works out at €13.06 per hour per hour worked

Teachers start on significantly more. Newly qualified teachers start on €36,953 per anum. They don't work shifts so no need to adjust salary for this. Their compulsory work starts at 9:00 and finishes at 16:00. This is a 7 hour day. Supervision of extra-curricular activities and after-school study is not obligatory. They have a week off at Hallowe'en, two weeks at Christmas, a week in February, two weeks at Easter and 11 in summer. Thus, they only work 35 weeks per year or 1225 hours per year. This equates to an equivalent hourly rate of €30.16 per hour worked.

Teachers are raking in more than double the hourly rate and their sleep patterns are not disturbed, they're not abused by drunks or druggies, they're not dealing with death or distressing situations.

I'm neither a teacher nor a nurse before anyone accuses me of having an agenda and I earn a package far in excess of the aforementioned salaries.

Before anyone asks what I earn. Here's my package. I receive benefits of health insurance fo rmyself, my partner and my son. I appreciate the majority of public sector workers would never get this. This brings my equivalent salary package to ca. €50,000 if you were to count the value of the health insurance packages.

Let's give our nurses a round of applause. They truly deserve it and they are all angels on earth.

Oh look. A new reg trying to spread discontent.

Sorry about that

You may not be a teacher or a nurse, but you sure are bored and destructive.

Fair play to all nurses and others on the frontline.

Do you think they’re practicing social distancing in the troll factories?

For some reason your'e not allowed to highlight the fact that teachers wages are out of kilter with the rest of the economy. I dont understand it but thats the way it is.

Do you understand how troll factories work? Where posters set to sow division, while another drives the debate. They don’t care either way, they just want to spread ****e.

You'd think the fact you got your thread closed in AH would have been a teeny weensy hint but apparently not. No, not going there.
