I also knew my pay would be smaller...but I was okay with that as opposed to sitting in a cubicle all day and doing engineering work (I was a physics major in college at one point with a minor in chemical engineering)...
What I am not okay with is people telling me that I have a easy job and we get paid a fair wage for what we do. We arguably have the most important job in the world, safeguarding and teaching children. No children/no future. I think we should get paid more...yes. Will getting paid more make what we do any less important or easier? Nope. My job stays the same whether I get paid minimum wage or millions and it has never been easy. Rewarding yes. Easy no.
