If you don't have a teaching degree, there are alternative certification programs that take about a year. Change your life... change someone else's life.
I left academia to teach high school 13 years ago.

*serious* There is a teacher shortage in the U.S. I doubt that I (as a teacher) put up with any more B.S. than other jobs. I work from late August until mid-June, then "recharge" for 2 months.
Starting salary for a brand new teacher with a bachelor's degree is $65k / year (in my county).

Hella' cool.

Noice!

These are beautiful.

Thanks! I'm working on the Orc pit now. 😁

I need to go to IKEA.....
