It is, but it is also leading to tremendous inequality. My monthly income is the same as the annual income of the teacher who taught me maths in school. I don't really think I offer enough value to society to be paid that much more.

You are paid more because you do offer enough value to compensate you for it.

The problem your math teacher has is that there are significantly more people qualified and willing to teach math at that level than there are people qualified to do your job.
