Teachers
If your teacher was actually smart he wouldn’t have become a teacher in the first place.
Remember that if you take any career advice from them.
On average, that's likely true. But I replied:
Not necessarily... I know guys who became teachers because it's a dead easy job that leaves copious amounts of free time for other hobbies, like game. Plus, there's a natural funnel for chicks, who are available one year post-grad.
I don't know anyone in real life who has gone truly hard-core in game like the guys you can read in the sidebar. But at least one guy I know from college essentially used high school teaching as a funnel for chicks. In his 20s he was pretty good looking and pretty musical (played guitar and taught it sometimes at his high school, apart from his main subject). He wouldn't quite 100% admit to what he was up to, but he would admit that teaching is dead easy. He had a band for a while and no surprise there he used it to get laid. Back in MySpace days his opener to MySpace chicks was an invite to his shows.
His band sucked, but he did the trick.
We lost touch over time, and he eventually got married, fat, and into video games. He wasn't a brilliant guy but he wasn't dumb either. Occupation is about cost-benefit. He was also smart enough to know not to hit up chicks until a year after they graduate.
Career advice is tricky. I don't remember getting much career advice at all in high school and I don't know if high school teachers today dispense it. But not all high school teachers are dumb or not smart. With teaching, a guy gets security and a low to medium income and time. But he also gets a very low cap on his salary, low social status through career, and bureaucratic bullshit.
Some smart, family-oriented chicks choose teaching because it allows them to take time off when their kids are small.
