How bad of a career is teaching literature, English, or some other subject? I'm thinking high school or community college. I'm graduating university soon, and basically, I'm scared of getting stuck in a 40-50hour week position, which my degree often leads to. I don't care about money beyond making enough to have a healthy diet and basic living expenses. My dream job would be working 20-30 hours a week and I can't swing that with my common employers.
Any experiences teaching here?

the worst thing about teaching is the hours. you get no free time

This. They own you. Sure you get vacation time, but you're too fried to enjoy anything.
I assure you, no one needs a dumb frog poster as a teacher.
I wouldn't recommend you to get into teaching. I'm not sure if my opinion is relevant since I live in Eastern Europe. Either way, the young generations are awful, and it's rapidly getting worse. These kids have been turned into chimps by cheap entertainment and decadent media. If you think you can cope with trying to knock some sense into 20-30 literal monkeys, then you might be up to the job.

Mass just had a huge Title I shortfall, and most midsized schools are laying off teachers.
Also, kids are shit
don't do it, high school is just full of horny and angsty kids who don't want to be there, and at community college you'll just be spewing a /lit/ thread at people who don't own any books and just want to be accountants and had to take lit as an elective...

yup, this is happening in higher ed too, the economy is hot for uneducated pleb tier work, so kids who would normally be enrolling in low ranked colleges and universities doing vocational degrees are just out delivering internet orders and demoing old buildings in gentrifying neighborhoods instead of signing up for school
