Alright guys, Theoretical physics student here, second year. Thinking of being a teacher, because surely the most effective way of contributing to science is inspiring many more to go on to do science. The only problem is I don't want to live the rest of my life with people applying the old phrase 'If you can't do, teach' to me. I know I'd be a good teacher, but would it be worth it? Any teachers/lecturers/tutors here to help me out?

If you want to teach don't let salty people who chose money over passion derail you anon

I'm not a teacher, but 2 of my buddies are high school music teachers and they both love it.

i just got done teaching my first semester (i'm a grad student). I balled my eyes out yesterday, I'm going to miss those kids. Also note, I taught for resume boost purposes and ended up loving it

Then make sure to teach at the university level because teaching high school means you are a failure unless you studied 'education'.

Stop caring about what people think. Good educators are extremely important.
