A well-intentioned person told me today that I should look into other job opportunities before I decide to teach middle/high school full-time because "I have so much potential". While that's a really nice comment, the underlying statement is that by teaching I am somehow wasting my potential. It hurts to think that could be true. In truth, I don't

I think it's because of the level you are choosing to teach that people get weird about it. But again, screw them anyway. I would never teach public school. It's bad enough in a community college these days, but kids are not what they use to be. I prefer private universities or even public colleges. More respect comes from that, too. And I can teach anywhere.

If family is more important, it's cool. I think that's great. You are struggling with that woman thing. Independence over family, juggling a career, etc...you can do what you want sweets. Do what makes you happy.
