i hate my cushy bullshit job where i make obscene amounts of money. should i quit my job and become a teacher? here's what i'm thinking so far:
pros:
- i won't hate my job anymore
- my job is a real job where i actually contribute to society
- summer vacation sounds dope
cons:
- maybe i still hate my job
- my job would be a real job where i do work
- i won't make obscene amounts of money
- wtf grad school is expensive
alternatively, are there other jobs i should try to do instead? mind you i have no skills and would probably need to go back to school.
I'd further add that you wouldn't necessarily be making the world a better place by becoming a teacher anyways unless you have some reason to believe you'd be a better than average teacher in comparison to other teachers in your area. There will still be the same number of teaching jobs but your inclusion in the labour pool will make other teachers getting a job (who maybe don't have an option to become a techbro) incrementally harder.
