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.

Not in my old district.

The "zero tolerance" policy shattered like glass against the first complaint from the first parent that complained about phone confiscation.

If all a student wanted to do was get brain rotted from heated-gamer-moment all day there wasn't much I could do.

That stinks. My old principal took on the righteous struggle against phones and got swung on by a parent.

The leadership of my district folded like wet cardboard faster than you could say maybe-later-kiddo "DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHO I AM?" maybe-later-honey
