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.

they meant that public school teaching in the US or other capitalist countries is teaching propaganda to kids

Yeah, and until and unless that changes, my question is what could be done for kids that need education, right now. It fucking sucks right now, and that's one of the main reasons I left the profession myself, but that doesn't mean that "shit sucks, just stop trying" should be a society-wide decision ever after.
