[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would've chosen a much higher paying one! -a teacher[/quote] I have a lot of respect for teachers but you had to know it didnt pay well when you studied to do it, right?[/quote] DP here, I'm not a teacher but I can say that at 18 years old I was pretty ignorant of how expensive life is and what I would need to get by. I didn't have any idea how much money my dad made to support our lifestyle, and what different lifestyles would be offered by different jobs. I mean, I kind of knew intellectually that teachers are paid less than bankers but honestly it didn't feel like the differences were that big. I was also an idealist who thought that being motivated by passion and helping people was more important than salary. I was raised in a total bubble suburb though and was kind of sheltered/dumb.
