My dream is to be independently wealthy and become a high school math teacher. I love math, I enjoy teaching, and I’m pretty good at it (I spend a good deal of time tutoring various youth in our church group).
Why am I not a math teacher? Because I make 5x what a teacher makes. And I don’t want to raise three kids on a teacher’s salary.
But I dream of being a teacher. Help kids out for nine months and spend three months hiking and camping with the family. But until then, I’ll just make a very comfortable living doing quant marketing and building out Bayesian models...
I enjoy my work enough that the opportunity cost is not worth the forgone revenue to teach. Not yet, any way...
