[quote=Anonymous]There’s a reason the teaching profession is experiencing mass exodus. Your child needs to get real perspectives from teachers who have been doing it a long time. Stress in the profession comes from low wages unable to save money, being overworked by some school districts, handling angry complaining parents. and poor or disrespectful behavior from students.

Having said that, my spouse switched to teaching after 15 years in industry. He loves the kids and the classroom. Hates the administrative stuff. But we can only make it work and raise a family on a teacher salary bc I make good money and because of previous earnings and investments.

Maybe your kid isn’t cut out for rat race but there are other professions he could explore that are relatively low key. Anything behind the scenes could work including web developer, graphic designer, instructional designer, data analysis, lab researcher, actuary, museum archiving, video editing can be lower key jobs. I think he needs better career exploration to help him see other options more clearly.
