Spot on. Both of my parents were high school math teachers (for most of their career). They essentially forbade me from going into public education, which is what I thought I wanted to do when I was in high school.

Boy, am I ever glad!

I am much more financially comfortable, enjoy the hell out of my job, and don't have to deal with the annoyances and politics of being a high school teacher. Would I be technically capable? Absolutely. Would I be good [enough] at it? Probably. Would I do it for a mid (or even high) five-figure sum, even with the good retirement package? Not on your life...
