I think I would enjoy teaching SO much more than accounting but I live in North Carolina and teachers’ salaries here are just untenable.

If you're young and don't have kids, get out of accounting while you still can, and pursue something that will make you happy.

I'm almost 20 years in. I've wanted out for a long time, and desperately want away from a desk job.
Unfortunately I'm the breadwinner so I'm stuck where I am for the time being. It's difficult to find something that pays the bills with no applicable skills and/or experience. 🤣

If teaching is your passion, pursue it.
You'll be happier in the long run.

Best of luck to you.
