I wish I had gone to a tech school, or at least that I'd pursued a more practical major. My degree cost less than $30K total but it was useless. I had to go to grad school to get some credentials. Even then, I'm not too far off from those teachers you mention--I'm a librarian. I won't get rich doing this, but it's good steady work and I'd be happy if my son chose a similar service profession.
