In addition to u/haalidoodi 's excellent comment, I want to add that women's jobs are only low paid because women's work is devalued for sexist reasons.

Contrary to popular belief, we do not pay wages based on how useful or skilful the work is, but based on how much power (social, financial, political, etc) the employee has. This is why a banker makes millions more than a surgeon, it is why a "yeoman" makes more money and has more status than any "secretary" even though those jobs are literally identical.

The reason bankers are paid more than teachers has nothing to do with sexism. The supply of labor for bankers is much further constrained than teachers, which means the price of labor for a banker is higher than a teacher. This is due to the law of supply and demand.
