[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you think you'll have kids and want to spend more time with them, it would be an excellent choice.  But you have to enjoy it and want to do it.  But it is a super job if you have kids.  You can usually do it anywhere you go, and you could always go back and go administrative.  
I went to college for HS and wish I'd done elementary now instead.  [/quote]

Why do you wish you'd done elementary? Not op, but I'm thinking of doing high school.

[b]Op, of you are good at math and science, I'd try to get certified in that. There seems to be more demand for that. Am I right, teachers[/b]?[/quote]

Yes. Public middle school science teacher here- not in DC.

There is a massive learning curve. The first year is really, really hard. If you're interested in a bilingual or special ed extension, I'd recommend it, at least where I am- it does make you more likely to get hired. If you enjoy traveling, teaching is awesome. Not at all why I chose to become a teacher but it is a nice benefit to have longer periods off & more flexibility.

As a teacher you could literally work 24/7 and find something to change or "improve-" whether it's more grading, lesson planning, adjusting presentations and projects, etc. It helps to be organized, efficient, and not procrastinate. I am not all of those things, but I am trying to improve.[/quote]
