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.

Is it cushy or is it draining?

Cushy as in it pays me a lot to not really do anything serious. Draining because corporate work has extra BS like dealing with a variety of personalities and poor organization structure.
