I quit my job as a teacher after 6 years to work in tech sales. I make $20,000 more, have greater flexibility in my day, and am so much happier now.

This as-told-to essay is based on a conversation with Holly Acre , a former teacher who now works in tech sales. It has been edited for length and clarity. I got into teaching because I love sharing what I know and I love helping people, so it just seemed natural. Career tests in college all pointed to teaching. My mother was also a teacher, and I think I wanted to be like her, too. I taught at what is considered a high-poverty school. The way you teach students who live in poverty is different because you need to make sure their basic needs are met before they can learn.
