Yes, but teachers teach fewer hours, so it is calculated if you are a tenured university professor, then yes. Otherwise, you're probably looking for a community college, which would still be a good job. Anyway, to conclude, teachers at Cal State and UC schools will earn about 130 thousand, keep in mind that it takes an average of 11 years to get there, it is extremely competitive and has a big barrier to entry. After 20 years, most teachers, without increases or incentives, will be around 100-115 thousand.
It's difficult to compare averages because individual districts and universities can vary greatly in salaries. Find the districts you would like to work in and compare them to the universities where you would like to work.
