This thread has turned into the usual teachers are poor, all OTers are ballets crap. I'm going take a nap.

I was a teacher/coach. Got out to work in IT.
I still coach travel/club ball because I love it. It's not the money that motivates me. It's the opportunity to teach the next generation to enjoy/love a sport that has given so much to me.
Seeing a kid struggle with a new skill in practice and then one day watching them succeed in a game using those newly acquired skills. The sheer delight on their faces as they push passed a self perceived limitation.
Being a teacher/coach IS awesome but not for the reasons OP laid out...

Probably not true. Teaching doesn't pay well. It may be a decent pay check for your twenties and thirties, but tell me what 40+ year old wants to be making between $45k and $55k a year in a job they've given almost twenty years to.

Good for you

You have to teach for the love of it and not the paycheck. I love teaching so I am ok having to cut back in some areas. The reward is seeing young people become successful later on in life. Blessings come when you you do this. Trust me
