I do teach three different classes this year (two sections of one class, one section for the others) so it's a decent amount of prep. But it's high school STEM. Even at the very competitive school where I teach, it's not brain surgery.

Yes. Several family members teach/taught - wide range, from 25+ yr public school teacher to professor-now-major-admin position at HYPS. I went to private schools growing up and had a lot of exposure to private school teaching jobs. No certification - private school - I will almost certainly never teach public.

even in shitty states the benefits from a teaching job are worth around 25k, or even more if you have a family. thus u only need about 45k in salary to hit 70k. check out utah, for example, http://www.utahsright.com/. i looked up a friend who is in 4th yr, lists them at 80k all in, and utah is known to be a shitty state for teacher pay. i can't imagine what the #s are like in states like california

private HS by a lot. any decent college will require a doctorate. the best way to get hired by a private high school in a given area is to start talking to administrators at the private schools in the area (assuming you have decent academic credentials and can present yourself reasonably well).

private high school, about 50K, highly competitive. Yes - the wife part is key. She also has a job that she loves making slightly more money (about 70K). Pretty soon I will probably be an admin and make about 60-100K depending on what and where. We definitely have enough money but try to understand the importance of doing fun shit every day.

Hours? No idea. Doesn't feel like work most of the time, so I don't keep track of "hours". Some days go from 8 to 3, some days go a whole lot longer.

I think I'm good at what I do so I'm probably a little underpaid.

Guy I know from law school did CCN JD --> biglaw --> Teach For America. He hated teaching and quit after a year, but I don't think he ever wants to go back to biglaw.
