I had a teacher in high school who worked in industry prior to teaching and he said it was an easy job, but he was a natural teacher and taught math in a state with Regents exams where the cirriculum was pretty static. After a few years the day to day stuff of planning, homework and testing is already done, you can do the BS work of grading etc. quickly, and spend your time teaching.
Of course my kids have to write explanations of how they arrived at the answer to their math problems, I would have failed.
