I'd did TFA before moving to public accounting. It was a great experience, but you'll really have to lower your standard of living, depending on the state. Sadly my teacher salary was less than half what I make at PwC with no raises until the state unfroze annual pay increases (which still never happened to this day). This kids are a ton of fun though! Way more fulfilling than staring at Excel all day if you can survive on the salary or marry rich.
