Not entirely true. My daughter did extremely well in high school earning advanced IB credits in calculus, physics government, etc. She had multiple academic scholarship offers from 3 universities. The advanced credits allowed her to finish a 5-year music education program in 4 years. She is now a public school elementary music teacher. She is paid ok, but she also loves it. Loves teaching children to sing and play instruments. A lot of teachers have no regrets, because they love teaching kids.
There are exceptions to the rule, you Daughter being one.
