I taught evening real estate classes for seven years. I found teaching  
to be one of the most satisfying things I have ever done. Each of us  
knows something worth teaching to others. Go for it. It is almost  
certain you will enjoy it.

My classes went from seven to ten. Lots of evenings I would be tired  
when I got to the classroom. Three and a half hours later at home I  
would need a couple beers just to come down enough to go to bed, I was  
so juiced from the teaching.
