Not the entire world. In example, for Albania, my homeland, you also need to do additional university years of teaching beyond just the certificate of the subject you teach. There’s no such thing as a lawyer-turned-law professor in Albania because one requires degrees for actually teaching while one doesn’t. My mom’s a 3rd grade teacher and she gets paid well.
In the states you have to continue to re-certified and most teachers have double masters, as that’s a way to maximize their income. My kids elementary school has 100% certified teachers (masters) with 75% completed their second masters. They all make absolute dog shit pay.
