The issue that I'm having with this, is that child care is still relatively unqualified work, so how can it ever be highly compensated?

Parents who are highly educated doctors, pilots etc argue that they should be able to stay at home for 1-2 years with almost full salary, which the tax payers should subsidise, and at the same time they also pay an uneducated 16 year old 10 bucks an hour to babysit when they go to the movies?

And you have 1 educated child care professional easily caring for 10 small children, and making a very modest salary.

It doesn't really add up.
