Well, having both taught and "done" science (now practicing/applying
health science to people), I'll say that for me, effective and efficient teaching is far more time and energy consuming than just taking care of issues in person.
I'm pretty fortunate in that I only have to teach people who have risen to the top of their professions. However, if one is willing to consider the general population of most grade/middle/high schools today, teachers are perhaps among the least appreciated individuals around. Many people see them as being paid to parent (and perhaps teach a bit if there is time)...something a ton of DNA donors/recipients refuse to do anymore. Just my $0.02.
