For those still chasing unstable software jobs and overlooking teaching as a serious career — it's time to reconsider.
With recession waves hitting the tech sector, layoffs, hiring freezes, and job insecurity have become the new normal. In contrast, the education industry — especially coaching for IIT-JEE, NEET, and intermediate courses — is thriving like never before.
Private institutions are now offering monthly salaries ranging from Rs 70,000 to even Rs 10 lakh to skilled lecturers. Yes, Rs 10 lakh a month in teaching is very real today. But what does it take?
Not a fancy degree or a tech background — just the ability to make students listen, learn, and score. If you can explain concepts clearly, build curiosity, and help students crack top ranks, the sky is the limit.
Teaching is no longer a fallback option. It’s a profession of respect, reward, and long-term stability. Unlike software jobs that fluctuate with market trends, education offers consistent demand. Parents invest heavily in quality teaching, and institutes pay well to those who can deliver results.
Instead of looking down on teaching, software professionals should recognize the immense potential it offers. Many former techies are already cashing in on this shift—not only earning more, but also finding deeper purpose and recognition.
If you’re good with people, love your subject, and can communicate well, the classroom might just be the smarter, more secure career move today. The education sector isn't just surviving—it's booming.
