31-year-old California teacher’s jobs give him ‘time,’ ‘freedom’ and $115,000 a year—here’s how he spends his money

Jae Byun loves his job as a high school math teacher and basketball coach. And he makes six figures doing it.

But he didn’t always plan to pursue a career in education.


While attending the University of California, Irvine, Byun majored in business economics with plans to eventually work in the financial industry. However, after completing a number of internships within that field, he changed his mind.

“As I was going through those internships and going through those experiences, I just found myself wanting something different,” Byun tells CNBC Make It.
