I worked with several former teachers in my software career. They were all smart patient people. Software jobs making shit for rich people to get richer paid more than double for less work.

I knew another teacher who was on food stamps because her salary was so low.

Our society values stupid shit. It invests in stupid shit. We are lead by assholes and fools.

As a rough guess, the first 5-7 years in the career act as a filter. Those who make it past that point are the truly dedicated.
