If every worker wants other’s to have it as bad as them we’d all be slaves, blame the employers and economic conditions rather than the worker who has it better than you. Really if your job is stressful and more work you should want better conditions for yourself, not worse conditions for someone else. She has knowledge that professional employers think is worth paying for, that’s not something you should blame her for.
IMO I think for teachers and nurses, they should be way better compensated, and even treated as a special class.

My NGO, WFH friend thinks she is working hard. The reality is, in our current system, the harder one works the less one is going to make. For her she has a stable position in the NGO.
Their goal is to help save fisheries and wild fish stock. In reality she doesn’t even know what salmon looks like unless it’s on a bagel.
You think these billionaires are just a billion times more hard working? They are just manipulative, insular, myopic, and selfish. Those are the key ingredients to success in our system. Surprise surprise, they are the opposite characteristics that a good teacher requires.

That’s not her fault though so resenting people for who have these roles is indirectly resenting your own ability to achieve what they have. Billionaire employers are a different story because they’re billionaires by virtue of those they employ. Overall the wealth gap between employers vs people like you and your friend who have to work everyday, regardless of what that entails, is wider than it’s ever been. The problem isn’t really that someone has a cushy job it’s that those billionaires who do nothing are taxed lower than they’ve ever been and have your money, you’re educating their future employees and they’re not paying you/us a fair wage for that service they benefit from.
