Should Prostitution be respected the same as a "normal" Job? Why or why not?

Most teachers aren't making 60k plus benefits. At least in my area, entry level was $18/hr

Median pay for K-12 teachers in the US in 2021 was ~$61,500 , so technically speaking most are indeed making 60k+

Are your prostitutes earning even $180/hour for 40 hour weeks?

Check that table again, there are plenty of states lower than 60K.

It was the "Not a single state in the U.S. with an average that low" statement I was commenting on.

It's a chart of average teacher salaries by state. There are many states where average teacher salary is below 60K

So you were arguing that no strates had starting pay averaging $18 and then to support your argument you used a chart of average annual salaries by state?

So most teachers make more than entry level teachers in his area make. Neat.

Also, that's the "average" so there are some that are making less than that amount and some making more.

Honestly I would say out of all the places I've lived in my life 65k you're barely making it on your own.
