Re: English teacher Teaching English is very enjoyable. People's perspectives of teaching English are different, but I believe you will never enjoy this and will even hate it by the pass of time if you teach English only for the purpose of earning money. People who start teaching English as new comers to the field should not expect much financially - you sometimes earn just enough to keep the wolf from the door.
If you are interested in English teaching, then I assure you that there will be a lot of different experinces you will have on the way to enjoy or hate. Actually, that's the rewarding part, you never know what happens and this keeps you in suspense.
Based on experience - not my own - I suggest you teach English as a part-time job or as a second job. This way you won't lose much if you don't like it, and will have the lucky opportunity to develop your true colors if you do like it.
I personally think one should dedicate all their life to be a very good English teacher and I mean to really be a good one. You have a family to take care of, and remember that teaching English can be very stressful. It depends on your eagerness and of course purpose. Ask yourself why you want to do this? For the love of the language or for money?
