Is teaching as bad as they say? In terms of pay, work-life balance, etc?

I have a teacher's bone in me but I've largely wrote it off as a career because I heard so much bad about it.

There's so many different teaching models

If you get creative, the potential is very high for earning

Especially with the internet

But if you get a normal job, then yes K-12 is okay-ish pay

But you do get like 3 months off each year (summer + winter)

What are some examples of high paying teaching jobs?

And, what is your current position, if you don't mind me asking?

I have a few close friends who were teachers. Most in CA one in CO.

They all pretty much say the same thing: the pay is garbage for the work you are doing but they love the actual work they are doing. 

I really hope we can make teaching a good paying job again but it seems to have been on a downward incline since I was in school. I wanted to be a band teacher but I've known enough band teachers to no longer be interested in that...

Education is in such a weird place in the states right now.
