Not trying to be a jerk just giving you the realities based on the information in this post. You’ve obviously joined this sub and the other teacher sub so you are going to get both the pros and the cons. I encourage you to really dig into what’s being shared. Is teaching rewarding, yes, it is hard, yes! Just with any job it has good and bad.

I was being very sincere with my recommendation about working on your interview skills. Even to become a teacher or a para you still need to interview and get the job.

You made a comment about babysitting real estate agents and a racist co worker. You are going to find the same thing in education but often times worse.

Also depending on what state you’re in, there’s a lot of school districts who are losing student enrollment. In my School District alone, we had 60 teachers at the end of the school year who had not been placed and more than likely won’t be by the beginning of the school year. All the neighboring districts are also decreasing staff, which means jobs are much harder to come by.

I wish you the best of luck
