1. If you're not earning enough money to save some, you're committing charity. If you're committing charity, it should be on your terms.
2. Friend called a friend, they looked at my resume online, and a hiring manager just called me for a local SE job.
3. ...I'm exhausted fighting the students every day. Then I see the test results; most of them are failing. By my own self standards, that means I'm failing. But I'm exhausted, fighting the students each and every day.

On #3, you're being too black-and-white. It is a mistake of perception which happens regularly throughout the school system.
With a ho-hum teacher, what if these kids would normally get a 50% average, but with you, they're getting a 54% average? Still failing -- but 4% points better than they would have been.
Likewise, in a school which produces above-average grades, if a kid is getting a 95%, maybe a bad teacher (or system) is not serving her well enough, because her ability is actually at 100%. But the teachers of that student would pat themselves on the back.
