  • When I graduated college, I was interviewing with the charter school that my mom works at. They were looking for ANYBODY with a degree in physics. It didn’t matter that I wasn’t a licensed educator, it didn’t matter that all I had was a Bachelor’s degree. They were offering an annual salary of $42,000 per year.

    Two years later, I’m making over 4x that amount, annually, as a software engineer.

    I really would love to teach, because I love science and I love teaching. But I love financial stability and a good work/life balance wayyy more.
