Excited to say that in 2019 I am taking a 98% pay cut to teach high school. I’ll most likely use my $32,000 salary to reinvest back into the children in my class

Im 23 just started working, but I've fantasized about exiting to teaching maybe in retirement or earlier..what're you teaching? Do you know if you're dealing with "honors" level or general? Any fears? For example, how will you react to disinterested students that, no matter what, won't share your enthusiasm

Best of luck OP! Having excelled at one field, we can all hope that you’ll also excel at teaching, and have a great positive impact on the lives of the kids you teach. My one word of caution would be to practice humility. You will have a different perspective that hopefully will complement those of seasoned educators, and you may (or may not) be treated more deferentially for it. But keep in mind you’ll have a lot to learn yourself as you embark on this next chapter.

Yes, A1’s comment was rubbish. If he gets to Senior MD level, he’ll come to realize the wisdom of humility. OP, being an OG, does, I suspect.
