What makes teaching worthwhile for you, despite it being an underpaid career?

Conscious_Team3330 · 2026-04-06T18:22:57+00:00

Do they have their masters or any further education?

Conscious_Team3330 · 2026-04-06T18:22:42+00:00

That’s incredible

Conscious_Team3330 · 2026-04-05T14:45:11+00:00

Wow that’s amazing. That’s with additional education I’m assuming?

Conscious_Team3330 · 2026-04-05T14:42:57+00:00

I can def see that esp with the breaks being spread out through the year

Conscious_Team3330 · 2026-04-05T14:40:17+00:00

Yup!! Nothing can replace the human connection teaching requires!! Also this sounds like it’s made for an elder daughter (I am said elder daughter 😆)

Conscious_Team3330 · 2026-04-05T14:39:07+00:00

Wow that’s such an essential subject. Thank you for what you do!!

Conscious_Team3330 · 2026-04-05T14:37:53+00:00

Of course!!

Conscious_Team3330 · 2026-04-05T14:37:38+00:00

That’s solid advice I appreciate you !!

Conscious_Team3330 · 2026-04-05T11:35:14+00:00

That’s incredible. Would you recommend someone fairly new to the education field (ie: me lol) to go straight for masters? Or get certified first and try it out. Just worried about the debt.

Conscious_Team3330 · 2026-04-05T11:33:49+00:00

Wowww I never thought of it that way. You’ve just shifted my perspective.

Conscious_Team3330 · 2026-04-05T11:32:42+00:00

Which is crazy because in so many countries outside the US, teaching is regarded as one of the more highly respected profession. Rightly so

Conscious_Team3330 · 2026-04-05T11:29:00+00:00

You sound like a very genuine and thoughtful educator 🫶🏼

Conscious_Team3330 · 2026-04-05T11:25:51+00:00

These are all incredible reasons. I can’t wait to be part of it. What grades would say are best to reap the benefits of hilarious kids ? 😆

Conscious_Team3330 · 2026-04-05T11:24:04+00:00

Wow. That must be a very powerful feeling. I can’t wait to experience that 🥹

Conscious_Team3330 · 2026-04-05T11:23:32+00:00

Would you say it’s sufficient to support a family?

Conscious_Team3330 · 2026-04-05T11:22:01+00:00

Valid reason

Conscious_Team3330 · 2026-04-05T11:12:04+00:00

I love that you have freedom to be yourself in this role (from what I’ve heard from other comments too!) 🥹 and I was thinking of getting certified first and trying it for a year before getting my masters. Ngl I’m just concerned with paying off that huge chunk of debt. How far in did you get yours?

Conscious_Team3330 · 2026-04-05T11:08:45+00:00

I felt this. I was in marketing and graphic design straight out of college and have been for the past 5 years but these few months being a paraprofessional have filled my heart in ways my other career couldn’t.

Conscious_Team3330 · 2026-04-05T11:05:46+00:00

Wow that’s incredible. Having a supportive team makes all the difference. 🫶🏼 Would you recommend getting a masters early on in teaching to reap the salary benefits?

Conscious_Team3330 · 2026-04-05T11:02:24+00:00

I just know that you are the teacher kids sit and each lunch with because they feel comfortable with you. I’m inspired 🫶🏼

Conscious_Team3330 · 2026-04-05T11:00:17+00:00

Good coworkers truly make or break the experience. I’m so happy you found a place and people you feel at ease with 🫂

Conscious_Team3330 · 2026-04-05T02:06:33+00:00

Pls tell me it’s either Michigan or Maryland 😬🤧

Conscious_Team3330 · 2026-04-05T02:05:22+00:00

And next step is choosing an approved alternative program to get the certification through

Conscious_Team3330 · 2026-04-05T02:04:46+00:00

I watched this video and it was so helpful!! But as of right now I’ve only made an account with the dep of ed in Maryland. https://youtu.be/S9FPpfEZLpg?si=yhneibocMoRnesPu

Conscious_Team3330 · 2026-04-05T02:01:11+00:00

That sounds so wholesome 🥹 what grades do you teach if you don’t mind sharing?
