No, I don't. Been there, done that. Actually, teaching is a second career for me, and I took a huge pay cut when I began teaching. I could give you pros & cons all day long, but then everyone would think I was complaining about how horrible teaching is.
Believe me, if I thought it totally horrible, I'd go back to my old profession, but I don't think I'm overpaid compared to what I could be making elsewhere - then again, I have a technical degree, and that's in demand both in teaching and in "real life".
Yes, I would love to be an "overpaid" teacher and I will try again this year but I think my chances as an old white guy are pretty slim, regardless of my qualifications.
What field? I don't know what part of Florida you're in, but in my area, teachers are always in demand, and I don't think your age would be a problem.
Some fields are less in demand than others, however.
Middle school math and high school business. I'm in Escambia County and we're always crying about needing teachers and the pay's too low. However, when you can find all the teachers you need at the "low" starting pay, then there is no shortage. I will admit that they had to hire teachers who were not certified, but hey, they were minorities. Half the teachers hired last year were black, while 20% or the county is black. Go figure!
So in your area, what percentage of white guys did they hire last year? Look around your school and tell me what percentage of teachers are white guys? Ya, I thought so!
