Because a graduate degree in teaching is about the same as a high school diploma.

I am always amused at the argument that teachers don't make enough. How much is enough? How many teachers are in the profession against their will? Were teachers drafted into the field? Were they lied too about what they would be paid? Were they duped into thinking they would make more money or have other perks?

Teachers chose to teach at the income level offered. If they don't like what they are making they should quit and use their education and skills to make more money if they can.
