That's because teachers are paid with self-actualization processes. A lot of teachers do what they do because they enjoy it. They get the praise, the pats on the back. What do I get? I'm not an accountant because I enjoy it. I don't expect a thumbs-up and an "atta boy". I don't "grow" as a person because I do books and taxation for people and businesses. Therefore, my work needs to be compensated through pure financial means.
Or your talents could be put towards something worthy of praise, and then you could be paid in feeling good, too. Or maybe you don't actually think that feeling good is just compensation?
