[quote=Anonymous]Agreed with all who says it’s a slog. Really, it’s a labor of love. If you don’t love teaching and know that it’s what you were meant to do, it’s a horrible job! My mother was a teacher and basically worked 11-hours days the entire school year. (Yeah, I know not every teacher is like that, but the good teachers are.) And she loved her summer breaks. But she didn’t retire until she was in her mid-60s because she LOVED it. Went way past her eligible retirement date. So no, it’s not a good path for everyone. But we will always need teachers, it’s a more stable career path, and some kids were just made for it. (I was not, but my DC is heading to college and also wants to teach. Skipped a generation, I guess.) I will second the poster who suggested a 5-year master’s program if you can find one. A lot of colleges are cutting their education majors, so minoring in education and majoring in the field you want to teach is a good plan. [/quote]
