"but if you're claiming that the average psychological burden of teaching is remotely comparable to the average psychological burden of being a CEO -- well, you're completely wrong."
This generalizes a bit too much. There are various kinds of teaching situations (college, private school, inner-city public school) and various kinds of CEO situations. Apples and oranges.
The psychological burden of teaching can be pretty intense. Depending on your situation you may have to deal with: unsupportive parents/administration, paying for school supplies out of your own small paycheck, noticing and reporting child abuse, dealing with the issues of your pregnant ninth graders, dealing with violence toward yourself and other students (including gun violence and gang violence), etc. all while you are trying to inspire in your students an appreciation for cosines.
