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've been teaching for a long time, and honestly the answer is... maybe

It can vary a lot from state to state, municipality and school to school. There's no guarantee it's going to be better or more fulfilling than your current job, but it might be. Anyway, feel free to DM me with questions if you like.
