[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I did not expect this thread to be teachers vs lawyers. In no way are the two professions comparable at all. I can only speak as a teacher though... I love teaching so much. I feel I was born to teach. Yes, I am living paycheck to paycheck but I can honestly wake up every morning happy to teach. Sure us teachers can choose other jobs, but I for one, would not change my profession even though I may struggle with the lack of money. Mind you, I work at a daycare, not at a school. The cons, I do not get a bathroom break. Crazy how every teacher says this. It is very true though. We can not just up and leave when we have to pee, as no one will be there with the children. It is much harder to call off of work because no one is there to take your place, and the children can not reschedule the day they come to daycare because the teacher is sick. We have a lot of people to answer to, parents, directors, admin, managers, licensing, the state etc. Our job is not just playing with children. We have to create and implement lesson plans, do conferences, make observations, and work alongside other professionals such as therapist. Most of our supplies come out of pocket. My paycheck literally goes back to the children. The pros of working with children? The children- priceless.[/quote]

This drives me nuts as a teacher.

We're not martyrs.  Stop living paycheck to paycheck - with money that "literally goes back to the children."  No wonder the public has no respect for us.  [/quote]
