should i quit my cushy bullshit job to go back to school to be a teacher? (hexbear.net)

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.

just that the information being disseminated in the US sucks currently

Yes, it does suck. My point, since you've replied to me in four different places, is once again that those kids do need to be educated, somehow, and that public schools are a public necessity unless we want to regress back to an even worse time. It's not a great career choice for most and I left it behind myself, but "it's all propaganda anyway so just end it all" isn't a wise or sustainable long term answer to how fucked up it's gone.
