A. there’s more to life than your salary:

while it is true that the pay is (and stays) relatively low, teachers usually don’t starve. being a teacher means having a modest and humble lifestyle, but not being impoverished. if nothing else, the pay is reliable; no one budgets better than teachers who get paid the same amount once a month and have to make that paycheck last right up to the next one. besides, there are many other (non-monetary) compensations for the low pay.
