LOL.
It's not too late. Several of the teachers at my kids' school are either people who raised their kids and then went back to school to get a teaching credential or people who are on their "second career." I think there is even some value to having some experience in another career and bringing that experience to the classroom. The boys' biology/chemistry teacher worked in private industry for twenty years before she decided to go into education. It is interesting to the kids to hear her stories about how the science they are doing can have real-world applications. I am not saying a first-career teacher couldn't do that, too, but there is something authentic about hearing it from someone who has lived it.
I worked in another industry for about a decade before becoming a college teacher as well.
