I taught physics for about 7 years and I completely agree. I had a number of students who suggested teaching as a "backup" or a "temporary" career between college and something else, and I tried my best to dissuade them. It's not enough to have people who come in for just two years, get frustrated and leave because of "bugs" in teaching software. It took me about four years to really get the hang of the job and the idiosyncrasies of HS students and how they work, and even when I left I never felt like I truly got the hang of it.
