I am a university professor and my younger brother is a middle school-age music teacher. So in my family, being a teacher is a wise choice. I think there are many choices to be made for career and many people will go in to more than one career in their lifetime. It is good to look at what areas interest you the most. The work you do should be something you enjoy. There are so many career choices, it is wise to learn about the responsibilities before you make a decision. Interview a few teachers that you know and see what they think about their career choices. Also, take a good look at what subjects interest you the most. Additionally, if you have a school counselor - speak to this person about possible testing to see what would be good/suitable career choices for you and your abilities.

teaching is one of the most respectful job i have ever known. i haven't been into teaching but i admire the patience teachers have. plus, they do share not their thoughts, learnings and knowledge to their students but they even devote their time to them. i salute teachers! they are good people and are like second parents to us!... anne

very very very well said ..its the respect & the satisfaction of giving a life and knowledge to a student which matters the most ...moreover if a student comes to a teacher after many years and says that he was her student and is not in a big job or business or sportsstar or celebrity the teaches feels like winning a billion dollars

In your country it sounds like teachers are still appreciated, it's a very good career but can be hard work, if you think it's for you, go for it.

teaching really entails hard work and entails too much time. a lot is devoted in teaching students... but teachers are always good in doing this. they have the patience and determination to bridge their knowledge to other people... anne

I think teaching is a good profession. I am try to transition to a teaching career after working in a business environment for years. The only draw back to teaching is the salary sucks.

Dear fengbo, No doubt teaching is a good profession not because it gives a good earning........A teacher have an obligation to the society.......they are the roll models for the upcoming generation........They should be transparent..... Moreover a teacher gets a lot of respect.......A teacher have a lot of followeres if she/he is a good teacher and they will live in the student's mind till their last breath......I will rememeber my typing teacher whenever i start to type something......like that i used to rmemeber most of my teachers always......i think everybody will remember their teachers always.......

Teaching is a very noble profession. You must have the passion and zest to become a successful teacher. Having a very long patient is also a must. In short, you just have to love whatever you're doing. Whether it is being a teacher, a doctor or any profession. Because when you love what you're doing, I'm 100% sure you'll gonna succeed.

According to me, Teaching is one of the most noble profession of the world, just like the Doctors. They are responsible for the bright future of the lot of students who study with them. Because , as a teacher , they should be live a life that will be followed by their students. They should be a role model for their students, for which they should live a proper and descent life. If you have the opportunity to become a teacher, please go ahead and lit of lives of many students. All the best.

Teachers have a hard job here the US. It is easier for college teachers, but the studetns in public schools are often hard to work with. The pay isn't that great. I think if you are going to be a teacher it hax to be because you love to work with children or you won't like the job. I was an elementary education major but I changed my major. If you like working with kids I say go for it.

I think teacher is a good job for you to take,because you will graduate from the normal university.to be a teacher is you first choose.but if you interest in other subjects which are not easy to be a teacher,you can take any kind of jobs,it depends on your major. if your major is computer,you can find a job in a IT company,if you learn English,you could be a translator. There are a great number of jobs in the modern society,but it is also full of challenges and denger.you must be careful. Good luck,I hope you can find a good job.

TEaching is a very noble job. It's appropriate for you if you have the passion for learning and imparting that learning at the same time. When you are teacher, you will never stop learning yourself. You will be amazed that you could also learn from your students. I think the teaching profession will be ideal for you especially that you have mentioned about the pay getting higher for teachers. You will certainly have a bright future ahead, so go for it.

Teacher is a noble job that anyone look up to. Helping the young minds and being part of their growth and development makes you feel honored. I'm a teacher myself and I love teaching not only because of the income but the great feeling that your helping in a way to mould the children to become a good person. But the question is do you like it? Do you picture yourself as a teacher? If your answer is Yes then you can be a teacher. Because what is important is that you love your job. But if the main reason for choosing is just the salary alone you'll not be satisfied and happy in the end ... Goodluck in any career you may want to!!!

i'm from a family of a teachers... my mom is a teacher, my cousins and my aunties... teacher's here in our country is a very noble profession... it's not that easy if that's what other people think... i saw my mom for a couple of time in her classroom and her students are very rude, so noisy, and the room was a mess.. she even yelled them but her students didnt mind her..i ask her once, i eve ask my aunties why they love teaching,they just answer me with same answer... "they love what we are doing" .. if you really love to teach..then go... follow your heart coz you're the only person knows what makes you happy
