Not op but maybe compensation and everything else outside of teaching?

I used to teach computers/math to 8th graders and while teaching is beautiful school politics, terrible benefits, dealing with patents, among others things made the job of teaching incredibly difficult and draining

Burn out. Teaching is a job that is never "done", and expectations from management and parents are constantly set higher and higher. Especially around IT. I lost count of the number of times I asked for help from management and got told "but you are so good at computers".

Tried the startup thing, my product crashed and burned, work for a charity now.
