I worked with several former teachers in my software career. They were all smart patient people. Software jobs making shit for rich people to get richer paid more than double for less work.
I knew another teacher who was on food stamps because her salary was so low.
Our society values stupid shit. It invests in stupid shit. We are lead by assholes and fools.
I would say “self-sacrificing.” I don’t think it’s quite fair to diminish someone’s dedication if they quit after working 4 years in full-time poverty.
Absolutely no insult intended to people who leave the career. I fully admit that I didn’t even finish the masters program before I realized I wouldn’t be able to keep up with the bullshit and noped out.

As a rough guess, the first 5-7 years in the career act as a filter. Those who make it past that point are the truly dedicated.

The only thing our society is interested in is extracting more value from people and funneling that value into the wealthiest hands
