No you of course can't just say "they're being paid more than me" and conclude you're being discriminated against, but some of the reason why engineers are being paid so much and teachers so little can partly be explained with there being more or less men and women in a specific trade.

Issue for me trying to explain this to you is that I'm coming from a country, Sweden, which has largely solved this issue and has lots of research on the subject. And I'm guessing you're from the US, where you're largely stuck at the point we were 20 years ago. I can't expect to convince you otherwise when you have lobbyists who've been spending millions telling you this shit for the past 20 years to hinder any progress.

Like even weighing in all the relevant factors like differences in trade, hours, experience, and like 20 other things you still have a massive gap in pay, one that you really can't explain with anything other than gender discrimination.

Here's a relevant graph from my thesis, showing how there still was a big gap even when properly compensating for all relevant factors:

This is official data from the official governmental agency of statistics, Statistics Sweden or SCB.

As an engineer, I can definitively say that teachers are more important than engineers. Almost exponentially more important. Teaching should pay better than tech jobs!! Not less!
