[quote=Anonymous]I was a teacher for several years and finally changed careers as I was burned out, disillusioned, and exhausted. Sorry to be a downer, but this was my honest experience. I wouldn't recommend the field to many people. I was also a nanny prior to becoming a teacher and, honestly, made almost as much money with much less stress. After teaching I moved into government work with children and families and consulting work with schools and child care centers. Perhaps volunteer at a school in the grades in which you feel you might want to teach. Talk with numerous current elementary level teachers to get the real scoop on what it's like. I wouldn't do it again. I would have pursued becoming a dietitian, graphic designer, interior designer, etc. Something with much more freedom, flexibility, and independence. Good luck with whatever you decide to do![/quote]
