    I have the same urge, but rather to be a teacher/mentor than a parent. Too bad the US doesn’t want to pay teachers what they’re worth, or I’d strongly consider a career change.

      I’ve had the exact same thought and it’s not just in the US. Teachers are woefully underpaid in general. I think a part of the problem is that there’s so many teachers that it would very expensive for society as a whole to give them a higher salary. I would totally do teaching if it paid better though.
