well im a senior in high school now and i hav to pick out colleges. i was thinking of becoming a teacher bcuz i like working with ppl and i also like helping people out. so i figured that teaching would b perfect. im not sure wat grades to teach yet but i do kno that i want to teach. however whenever i tell my mom she tells me that they dont win a lot of money and she thinks i should pick another profession. it kind of makes me not want to become one cuz i always hear the same thing.
so my question is, do u think teaching is a good profession? or should i look into different professions (like i hav been thinking of lawyer or sumthing along those lines of detective) so please leave ur opinion and explain. thank u. =] this could really help me out alot.
I thank everyone who has answered so far and I understand what some of you meant by my communication skills. I should try to communicate my thoughts in a better way to get the correct responses for my question. And yes I am pretty serious about teaching because it seriously interests me as a profession. I mean, I did take into consideration that the pay isn't the best i could probably get considering other possible jobs. However, when I think about teaching and working with children and being capable to encourage students to progress in their lives like my teachers have it makes me very happy. I think that i mostly wanted the profession because of teachers that I have had and that have encouraged me and have made me actually enjoy school. I do worry about the pay because since i recently lost my father my mother worries for my future and also since she and my father were immigrants she wants me to have a great future and to be well off because she worries that she wont be around long
she worries about my little brother and I.i would love to make her happy and take a career that would put her at ease but at the same time,teaching is a career that calls out to me and even though I would love to make her happy,I want to be happy too,even if it won't be an easy job.But at the same time I worry about the pay and also about being able to find a teaching job because I live in New York City.Since I live here,I feel like it will be very difficult to find a job.This is why I would like the opinions of others to see if it is a worthwhile profession or if I could possibly do other things with my interests.I know that i expressed myself badly previously but I hope that i have expressed my thoughts in a proper and positive way now.And i also would like to thank the people who advised to express myself better because I do have to learn that I'm not a child anymore and that starting now i must behave in a more adult way. I would be grateful if others continue to comment.
