Teachers only work 8 months a year and if they hang on for 30 years they can expect to receive a pension that pays them ~80-85% of what they were making while in the classroom. Those who can, do, those who can't, teach.

I have friend who did precisely that. By the time he left teaching (Phys. Ed. and Health) he was making $105,000/year. Retired at 80% to a house in the Hamptons.

And those who can't teach, administrate!

Here in Oregon, some of them (government school teachers) actually retire with a retirement plan that pays them more than they ever earned while working!
