Its a sad state of this world where there is a price for everything but no value for anything.<p>I have had my share of teachers who proved that &quot;those who cannot do, teach&quot;. I read that in Sweden, you have to be in the top 5 percentile if you want to qualify as a teacher. Plus a lot of teachers are so disconnected from the professional world that the student are confused when I come to work which I have experienced myself and seem over again as an &quot;intern-trainer&quot; at my work as a Software Developer.<p>Education has been so commercialized that some universities look more like a mall than a university. Cannot blame the students for expecting a degree after all the money they have paid. In a lot of collages, the entrance exam is just a scam.<p>This state is specially true in India where we are taught to respect in the order of &quot;Mother, Father, Teacher, God&quot;. Even God deserves less respect than teacher. But there also, if you cannot find any job. Then the next option is teaching.
