This. I’m far enough along in my career I’d be willing to take on teaching for even half of what I make now. I want to share what I know. I’m passionate about it.
It would literally be a 80% paycut. I can’t even begin to justify it.
- tchtrw 3y agoI would happily teach for free if I could claim the hours I'd bill off my taxes. I could spend half my time programming and half my time teaching while making the same. Unfortunately we're stuck in the 19th century mentality that the best workers are only worth a few times as much as the worst when today there are people worth hundreds of times more than the average.
- beej71 3y agoThis is why we have trouble hiring college instructors in my town. The cost is living is high and you can make 2x easy in industry. I don't see much mystery in all this. I made the transition because I was ready for semi-retirement and got a house at a good time some years back so my mortgage is only $1200.
