For me I'd love to be a Highschool teacher, but the pay is simply not there. It's hard for me to convince myself to take a huge pay cut from Software Engineering though. Huge bummer to me.
- iguanayou 4y agoI taught high school for five years but have been a software engineer for the past ten. I'd love to teach again - but sadly that would mean going back to a one bedroom apartment in a not-great part of town. Where I'm at now, I have a nice place in the country and the means to pursue hobbies that I couldn't before.

- odessacubbage 4y agohave you ever considered providing mentorship opportunities to high schoolers? imo it is very possible to get the joy of teaching and passing on your knowledge & skills w/o being in the system.
