Those are my thoughts also.

I'm planning on moving to Montana next year. I have 30 years
of professional business experience and 2+ years of high
school math teaching experience (and some college teaching
experience).

I want to teach to stay busy. Fortunately, I'm not worried
about the money as my previous career made that a non-issue.
I'm just hopeful there is a need for experienced math teachers
in Montana.
