I think that's great, provided that the people entering the field are doing it for at least some other reason besides money. My last two student teachers have been two men, one in his 50's, the other in his 60's. They both are from finance backgrounds. It took one of them an entire semester to realize that he just didn't have the energy or the ability to deal with the demands of the job. My current student teacher is a great guy but I'm afraid that by the time he develops the skills to be a really successful teacher, he'll be ready to retire. Then, of course we have the problem in our state that no one is hiring, only firing. I know that there are many quality people out there who can bring their practical mathematical knowledge to the field and I am happy to help them.
