Anyone who goes into teaching for those reasons will spend his/her career being miserable or get out of the field within a couple years.

However, teaching science could be a good choice, if that was his interest. Secondary science teachers tend to be the most in demand. Teaching CAN be a stable career "down the road." For your first several years, you will likely be covering short term positions, part-time positions, and have to change schools every year until you get a continuing contract.
