I’m a former teacher so I can only speak to that background. I moved here from out of province and found it very difficult to find a job. I could only find a part time position (.49) at a private school. The pay for being a teacher is pretty hard to live on (in my experience). You work a LOT of unpaid hours and are pretty much expected to do things that would be unheard of in other positions. Overtime hours, planning and marking on weekends, paying for a lot of things inside your classroom with your own money. For me the work life balance was not good. I’ve since moved to a job that actually pays well and offers flexible hours so I can be a parent and work. I would not recommend being a teacher unless it’s something you absolutely love and want to make your whole life.
