I guess this could also be in AIBU.
DH is a nuclear physics grad but kind of drifted into IT somewhere in mid twenties. Now works in IT sales and account management but really not happy. Much better at the problem solving/advising than the actual selling. But is reasonably successful - total salary/car/commission package very nice thanks. But he is as miserable as hell at the mo'
He is looking to get back into science somehow. I think he'd be a fab teacher - especially secondary or above. It would be a massive drop in pay initially whilst training, and later when qualified but I could up my hours to cover.
I think there are advantages to giving it a go but he's just heard loads of horror stories.
Any science teachers out there who have an opinion? What would you say to influence decision for or against? Initially I've got to convince him to even do the three day taster course!
Or AIBU pushing him into something he isn't keen on? He is really good at inaction because of (hopelessly pessimistic) fear of failure.
