I've considered this... not to sidetrack the whole thread, but can I expect to make enough money to pay rent, car payment, etc.? The job I have now doesn't really leave much room for subbing "on the side". (One of my friends is a banquet server part time, a substitute part time, and in school full time for education).
Back to the original question:
Thanks for the responses! A couple of the people I know who left teaching left for exactly the reasons mentioned: red tape & politics. Although, one of them has considered trying a different school system. I can handle a little politics, between the music school I attended & my job now, it won't be anything new. Just annoying.
Any other comments/advice?
