There's a reason why K-12 teaching roles're preferred over those at the collegiate level. 🥲

Personally, I happened to choose the former before I knew the ins & outs of the US' brand of Education™, and was relieved to find I'd chosen wisely (ie. luckily).

To each their own, of course, but gimme a classroom full of students that aren't chewed up and spat out by life already (or well on their way) any day of the week.

Never mind the fact that most of said college students are fervently avoiding looking directly at their future decades' of massive debt and barely-non-zero chance of a job that'll put any meaningful dent in that viciously compounding sum. 🥲
