If you're interested in volunteering to test the waters, you might look into Louisville's Community Schools program:

Sancho, I'm a fellow CPA and 2 of our kids are in college (one more in HS!). my DH is a HS public school teacher, so I have a pretty good idea of how it is done in our state.
I like reading these threads, btw! wanted to summarize the points other people made, which I agree with: 1) the substitute route might be the way to go, especially since you have a degree 2) our state has a computerized pool, and qualified subs take a short class (offered through adult education) and test to get certified to be a sub 3) look into that link that someone provided regarding the schools in your district. 4) whether you volunteer or get paid, it doesn't matter too much if you're all set moneywise. however, getting paid might allow you to get into their pension system, assuming you stay there long enough to vest. I also think that going the paid route may be more "structured" in the sense that expectations are more organized. whereas if you're a volunteer, as some mentioned, the school might not know exactly how to optimize your help. 5) someone also posted about teaching at the community college. I did this for a few years before DS21 was born. I loved doing that - you can teach when you want. because I had both my master's and CPA cert, the CPA cert was equivalent in pay to having a PhD! so I was "2 steps" above in the pay matrix. PM me if you like. very excited for you by the way - I am exploring a 2nd career right now.
