Before Vatican 2 were there any lay male teachers in the catholic school?

I am interested because I may feel it is my calling, but I don't want to overstep my bounds as a simple lay man.

yes, and we are in need of more teachers for the SSPX schools, unfortunately the pay is not so good.

It's not worth it.

SSPX school? I'm not sure how to answer that, but my first instinct is a no.

You can teach your own children too ya know, and still be doing a great service and giving glory to God. You can part-time tutor children at a parish school you deem as being of service to the Faith, and not have to be a full-time teacher in today's world where wages are silly low and costs to live are incredibly high. It's not "not trusting God" to go seek a paying job so you can support a family... that's just the way it is and God wants you to use your gifts , for His glory of course.

Although I may add that teaching doesn't require someone to be of incredibly high and saintly patience, as some may say. Just an interest in it and continued desire is enough I believe.
