Some years ago, it was a struggle getting the same pay for a lecturer
with nominal 7 year training (3 yr Bach + Hons + 3 yr PhD) as a
beginning teacher got with only 4 (3 yr Bach + Dip).  And academics
don't get more pay for more training, except (finally) a minimum for a
PhD.

Mind you, both would struggle getting what some tradespeople get...
