[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I never recommend the teaching profession.  I'm in my 18th year.  I love my kids and I love my co-workers.  But my husband is a teacher too and we can barely afford to live here and provide for our own children on our salaries.  Two of my younger co-workers have been talking about having kids soon and have been peppering me with questions about daycare costs and other expenses and they are terrified at how much it's going to cost and have no idea how they're going to afford it.

sounds like from this thread teaching is only a field you go into if you either have family money or your spouse is a biglaw partner. the other pp was saying how she loved it but dh is the main breadwinner.

As a single male, without family money, interested in switching to teaching - sounds like it is not a good idea if I ever want to be married. [/quote]

That's why so many men (and single women) teachers wind up administrators - the additional money.  It's not always true (my DH will stay a teacher, but that's bc I am the breadwinner), but it's tough to support kids on a young teacher's salary.  You make more decent money when you've been doing it for years, but by then it's too late to have kids.    [/quote]
