"if paid well" - hmm yes that is a global problem that "teachers" (or mentors, coaches, you name it) - are not the ones getting rich, but with growing age (50+ here), the pure money is by far no longer the most important part on a fulfilling job.
I _do_ teaching for a living for some years now, and yes, while the income went down, my personal satsfaction and happiness grew to never-before-seen heights.
I wouldn't exchange that for any job in my "old" life.
