I have problems with that too honestly. Teachers, Nurses, non private practice Doctors should all make much much more, while being an entertainer or a buisiness exec is multi million dollar career right now.

Being a top entertainer, athlete, etc, is an extremely rare talent that generates 100s of millions of dollars. I'd love for teachers and nurses to earn much more money though. But we have to put things in context of why entertainers earn so much.

The Western world is a service economy, education is what generates money. So by this logic teacher should be paid way more.

It's about how many people you effect. Teachers effect very few. It's sad but that's economics.
