In my county, a remote village in southwest of China, there is a saying that it is very important for a boy to choose a career while quite important for a girl to choose a husband. And in my town,there seems as if that to be a teacher is quite a bad job and many people think it a vocation that just for the common person while the so-called excellent one could do business or to be a nation servant. And I am a teacher of course, so I felt so frustrated and under high pressure, my dear myloters, could you show some advice?

I am an engineer and I also think we are badly paid for the amount of learning and training we have to do to get qualified. Also, there is a lot of responsibility resting on what we do as mistakes can cost lives. I should have trained to be a banker! One year I taught mathmatics at a high school to help out as they were desperate for a teacher. It was a great education for me as I became aware of the power thata teacher has over young minds. If I had an ideology of my own I could insert that into those children and change their lives for ever. A teacher's job is very important and much underrated. More strength to you!

Yours is a prime example on how teachers can influence lives. When you're in front of young minds, whatever 'ideology' you present them can very well be one that they could pick up, and lead all their lives. I too am an engineer, but have realized that the money is somewhere else.

I believe that teaching is a more rewarding profession than all the business careers out there. Yes, success might not be measured in money, but the wealth you gain from molding young minds to be successful (some even to be business men), are far more valuable. At the end, when you take stock of your life, you can leave this world knowing that you've affected more lives, and you've changed the world, even for a little, but, but surely for the better.

I think that being a teacher is one of the most admirable jobs that are in existence, and if you feel as though you can do it then it might be one of the best things that you've ever done in your life. It is a very stressful job, but at the same time there is the potential for it to be incredibly rewarding and this means that it is something that you possibly wouldn't regret doing. I would love to be able to be a teacher, but I have gone down the complete wrong career path and that means that it will be very hard for me to be a teacher in the future.

Choosing a right carrer is very important in one's life. According to me , Teaching is very great service oriented job. You are in a position, that create a greater impact in younger generation. Teaching profession is really a gifted job.

that's an old strange tradition in your country... in our country some people thinks that being a teacher won't make them rich. However, it is a respected and well dignified profession. Young students look up to their professors and get inspired with them that they eventually become professors too even though their education can give them better professions other than being a teacher. They usually take up additional studies to qualify to teach. teacher are a big influence to mold and instill a lot of knowledge in every students. if there are no teachers in schools and universities then where do you think these businessmen, engineers, architects and other excellent people learn such knowledge to climb up to that position where they are now.
