New Nearly took up IT Education, once.
I gave a few small courses (of approx 90 minutes, about SAS) to groups of people at work - and it was fun. Figured that ultimately the money wouldn't be as good as sticking with programming. Also realised later what it's like being a student in a course where the instructor is just teaching from the book and has no idea what he's teaching - I figured I'd not be able to know every subject I'd probably end up teaching, and wasn't at all keen on that.

Apart from that, international pop stardom still awaits :)
John. Busy lad.

The problem with IT teaching is that most of your "customers" are going to live in India over time. The same forces that are drying up IT jobs will also dry up the local demand for IT education, leaving a glut of IT teachers.
