You do not have to be a teacher.

Teaching is a demanding job--there's not only the actual classroom hours, but the time you'll spend planning, grading, sitting in worthless meetings (which often eats into the time you'd spend planning or grading). There's also a lot of bullshit. You will be considered nothing more than a babysitter and yet entirely to blame for all of your students' problems. If you're working in K-12, many school districts and classrooms are all but designed to burn people out.

It is a difficult job even if you enjoy aspects of it. It is better to disappoint people now then to spend a few years of your life stressed out and miserable (and for pretty shit pay).

I second this, all of this. I've worked as a teacher's assistant for Pre-K and second grade. Which is why I make such a horrified face when people suggest that job for me. I've never met a teacher who could tell me with a straight face they still loved their job and recommended it to me. But if you do end up as a teacher let me just say I can see a call for silly voices! It just sounds like an even worse idea for you to get into teaching for a reason other than wanting to. Kids can smell resentment a mile away.

This whole thing makes me sad though because more than ever we need great teachers and I feel a little guilty I wouldn't touch that job with a ten foot pole. :(

I am a teacher and I love my job.
The trick is not working in a public school.

For you, maybe. I work in a public school, and I love my job.

The trick is liking your students enough that the bullshit doesn't wear you out. :-p

[deadtree]

yeah, I didn't mean to imply otherwise.

I also agree with this. I thought I wanted to be a teacher and spent 2 years doing it and had to quit. You have to love teaching to stick it out.

There has to be something else that you could do. You have to make yourself happy.

Not in Austria, though.

[deadtree]

wow really? What do Austrian teachers earn?

[(Anonymous)]

Teaching as a career is generally given more respect in certain European countries.

Which is almost never one of the things considered in all the "why aren't we as awesome as Finland?" district meetings I have to sit through.
