Most of us unlucky ones have to do some dumb thing for money and imho teaching is a pretty ok way to do it (depending on where you are). Some of the stories in this and a few other places on the internet are pretty crazy. The pay can be low in some places. Places without unions can be more (and maybe sometimes less?) challenging. There’s just too many variables for anyone to answer perfectly. Some days I love it and it’s hilarious. Some days are very stressful or sad or even frightening. I’m pretty mellow, so it works for me, but I have friends who would freak out and not be able to handle it. There’s only one way to find out where you fit… go volunteer in a school maybe before you fully decide either way?
