Actually, you didn't post any national averages. You posted data sets from payscale.com, which is a nonscientific sampling. The high end numbers I gave you on scientist pay are big city numbers (NY, Chicago, LA, expensive parts of NJ). Actually, some of the medium range numbers are also available in the expensive parts of NJ.
Most scientists who wind up as a teacher will be teaching at college, which does pay considerably less. If you want to include them under teacher, be my guest. In that case you are correct, but with the caveat that most scientists fall off the scientific career path and land on the low end of teaching.
I stand by my statement that teachers don't work very hard. So does the BLS.
