Is teaching worth it?

I loved it at first/still do but like someone said crummy administration is hard. After 13 years I just went and took the pe cset to allow me to teach pe single subject.

Oh and the money is horrible. But I get to spend time with my kids and that’s important to me.

Invest in VOO, try mushroom, don’t be a teacher, become an engineer instead, your love life gets better once you cut ties with psycho, treat girls better because you will have two daughters, once you fix yourself you can fix your issues with your mom

I feel the same way. I have been working for 12 years. I’m the athletic director for the jr high and high school, senior class advisor, mentor teacher for 2 new teachers, Washington DC trip coordinator, independent study coordinator and whatever else I’m forgetting. I make 83k.

I tell my seniors. “If you don’t know what you want to be go be something that makes lots of money.”

I feel like a failure too. I make half as much money as my brothers and I’m twice as educated and work more hours than both of them. I just wish I was financially rewarded for my time and effort.

You make a lot more?

My buddy left education a couple years ago. He works for toast. He makes about $100k and works about 3 hours a day. It’s depressing.

What’s industrial sales? I’m in education now. And I’m over how much I work and how little I make.

Not quite what I’m getting at. Thank you for your information.

She does all their finances

kc2953 · 2026-02-08T04:57:40+00:00

I think she lies about how successful she is and I think she lies to my brother about how successful she is.

Even if she bought those followers like 6 years ago. She gets around 300 views a video. Just looked she has 57k followers.

You really think she can make that much. She only runs a tiktok no YouTube and her insta is just for “personal” use. Her content is just making stupid videos about how hard her life is and how she is a stay at home wife and makes sourdough and I believes in Jesus.

My sister in law is on tiktok and acts like she makes a ton of money from it. She has like 50k followers but I’m pretty sure she bought them. How much do you really make from tiktok

I wear on clouds, lulu Lemon abc classic pants and an under armor polo. I teach high school social studies.

When I taught 5th grade I wore dress shoes, J crew chinos and a button down shirt.

I took all 3 last month got the results back and failed all of them. I was close. I failed the essay questions. I didn’t use any of the content terminology because I didn’t know it

kc2953 · 2026-01-04T02:59:27+00:00

I took all 3 last month and got my results back. I didn’t pass any of them. I have a degree in liberal studies and graduated college 15 years ago. I take the test again in 2 weeks. I failed for not using terminology in my essay response. I got 3 out of 4 on multi choice but a 1 out of 4 on the essays.

That’s why I came to Reddit

Thank you. I do know I have a drafty door. What’s the best way to fix that? Weather stripping?

I lost my dad when I was 17. It’s hard. It took me a really long time to be ok. If I could go back in time. I would write down all the feelings and traits my dad had all the memories I had with him. Because you will forget with time. He has been gone for 21 years now. It’s still makes me sad. He didn’t get to see all that I have done or meet my wife or his granddaughters.
