Why does salary deter people from becoming teachers?

It doesn't!
I am a retired teacher and I have 6 teachers in my family.
No one ever thought about money.
Teachers do what they do because they love to teach and they love kids and they love to make this world a better place.
If you truly wanted to teach,money would not dissuade you.

I have to disagree with the previous post. Some people would like to switch careers to become teachers and make a difference, but they cannot afford to live on a beginning teacher's salary.
