not disingenuous at all /
my 1st sentence was this again speaks to what area of the country are we discussing ?
Teacher Pay by State 2026
United States
$66.4K
1.69%
US Average
California
$101.1K
Highest
Mississippi
$53.7K
Lowest
plus a coaching stipend/ far better option then being an asst for 35k
life isn't easy and working for 35 a year is going to make it any easier
for the few that make a sustainable living and the minority of that number who make substantial living from coaching hats off to you, niche job as I mentioned in my original post -
my point is you stand a much better chance of earning living and being a coach then being a coach for a living
