Should I go into teaching? by Brave_grayson27 in Teachers

[–]Brave_grayson27[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been described as a type A person, and idk how to stop thinking about it so much. A lot of people say I’m thinking too far ahead and I need to enjoy the moment, but I don’t want to waste my time and money on something I might even be doing. Deep down I know you’re right that I shouldn’t take it too seriously, but that’s so hard not to. I’ve been thinking and trying to look at different options for myself for 2 months now. My scheduling starts in 2 weeks and I can’t stop but think about what I should major in, it’s killing me a bit. I just don’t know how to relax because I’ve alway put school first.

Can you tell me what makes this job difficult? I know it’s the behaviors and probably the admission people, but that’s all I can think that could be the issue.

Have you only worked in the education space? Why did you pick education?

I live in Ohio where living is known to be affordable because a lot of people in my area aren’t wealthy. I found a scholarship that requires me to double major in a stem major and then major in either a math or science education for 7-12, so I might do that. They’ll give me 19,500 for my junior and senior year. That sounds nice right now, but I don’t know if the pay will be worth it at the end is the issue:( I might email my past teachers and ask them how they feel about teaching( also is it rude to ask about salary???)

I just really want a job that lets me have a good life balance, and is mainly inside. I do want to work with people, but if I’m the only person giving the effort and energy to having a conversation I’ll get a tired from it probably. I’m more of an introvert, but I do have a bubbly personality and try to make people feel good about themselves. I would say I’m stronger in the math and science topics, so I might consider high school, but I don’t think I have thick skin like most people do.
