I've never had the flu shot.
I figure I ate enough dirt and stuff as a kid to make my immune system super tough

And the flu shot only protects you against one form of the virus but not all the others, which doesn't make you "bullet proof" against a flu. However, I wouldn't call it a crapshot, except you are perfectly healthy and don't care about a flu anyways. It really helps reduce the number of infections each year. And if you are having any health problems that make any cold or flu an even inconvenient story, and you have no problems with the vaccine, I think it's highly recommendable.

I after my first year teaching I've gotten one every year since.

Actually it doesn't protect you from one form of the virus only. It protects you from several variants. I can't remember off the top of my head but they include the types of the major influenza epidemics + the mathematical model. It is a crapshoot, because it's based on a mathematical prediction of how the virus is going to mutate. I used to work at the Department of Immunology at the 3rd ranked pediatric hospital in the world and not a single immunologist there elected to vaccinate themselves, so that should probably suggest something to you.
