A lot of people say that teaching is the noblest of all professions. I am a teacher but I don't really believe this. People should regard all professions as noble, it depends on how people treat their profession, how they are able to accomplish things in life and how they are able to help and inspire others.

Teaching is a profession of high caliber people possessed with mental, emotional and social maturity. Teachers can only be called as such if they were able to touch people's lives and helped people to become what they ought to become (the image and likeness of God).

I don't know wether to be a teacher is something noble. What I do know is that you can't 'make' true teachers. To be a teacher is not something you choose, it chooses you. Jesus Christ and Gotama Buddha were first and foremost teachers. So we are not in too bad a company, are we now?

Yes I agree with you. Every profession has its own dignity and importance. But at the same time I believe that teaching is very respected profession and teachers are future makers.

Hmmmm... I believe that teaching is the noblest of all profession. Other profession are noble but not in par as teaching. If you think about it all profession are learned because someone taught you. And that someone is a teacher. What type of profession that does not have a teacher? A doctor is a noble profession. But who taught the doctor to cure patient? Isn't it a doctor teacher. Who taught the engineers, a driver, a contruction worker? Isn't it a mentor or a teacher. If there is one person other than a parent that a person would remember it is the teacher.

Of course teaching is the noblest of all professions, imagine you being a nursing clinical instructor, you teach student nurses to become nurses- and eventually, they graduate and become professional nurses and they get to work wherever they like and you are still where you are- still teaching other future nurses, sacrificing your own opportunity in order to help others have thier chance on a better opportunity... what can be more noble than that?
