[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The teachers where I live (NYC suburb) make BANK. Summers off and [b]driving away at 3PM[/b]? I'm sure many work longer hours and are generally hard working, but from where I sit, killing myself, often for an unworthy cause (consulting).... I would definitely encourage my daughter and son to pursue this path if it interests them.[/quote]

I haven't "driven away at 3 pm" a single day of my career, unless I left for an appointment and then picked up where I left off later that evening. I know you mentioned many work longer hours and are generally hard-working, but trust me, we're killing ourselves, too. However, I am thankful it's for a job I love and for a very worthy cause!

It may not have been your intent, but your post sounds as if you think educators have it easy. If you feel that teaching is better than what you have going, how about a career shift? Teach for America would be able to help you with that process and is always looking for new teachers. https://www.teachforamerica.org/ [/quote]
