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.

If you can afford to pay your bills with that salary and you think that you would be happier fucking do it. We don't live very long and we work most of it. with drive time I am gone from my house 11 hours a day, after putting my kids to sleep I only have 2 hours a day to myself. Only 2 hours of my day where I can sit down and just relax. If you can at least be happy and that other 11 hours good on you do it. Only person's opinion that matters is yours and what makes you happy

No? If you really feel like you need something "real", just take a sabbatical (if you can) and do important volunteer work.
