Try to evaluate yourself if you really want to be a teacher and if you think you can do the job because being a teacher has a great responsiblity. You will not only be teaching students facts of life but you will be molding them into a person that they will be. I chose to be tecaher because I wanted to make a difference. I also kept in mind that this is the most noble profession and there will be no doctors, lawyers, engineers, scientists if the was not a teacher who taught them.

That's very true but you must also consider that not all students are good, some will make your hair turn gray faster :-) Just never stop learning - from school, from your student and from other people, and you'll turn out to be a good teacher

Being a teacher is a choice. At first, it will be good. But as time passes by and every month during payday, you look at your little earning and wish you had a better paying job. If your dream is to be financially free, then teaching in a traditional school is not the best option. Learn how to do business. But if you really want to teach kids/students, it might be worthwhile!

Being a teacher is actually what I am working on doing right now. After a few different turns in different career paths, I decided that I would love to do it: to be able to teach a subject that I love (Western Civilization) to people who are interested. I more than likely want to end up either in the Junior College level or maybe with tenure at the University level. There is always a demand for a good teacher; if you can prove your ability, you will have no problem finding a great job being an educator.
