I got back into teaching, relatively late, at 35. I'll have to go to 63, to

I don't know what will go first; my back causing disability eligibility, or

Swap the back for a knee, and my wife is on a parallel track.

She's a 2nd grade teacher in a NCLB "Failing" school and is definitely
burning out.
