Sure, I am never going to be a millionaire (far from it!) but I KNOW people who are millionaires who are pretty unhappy in their life. My lawyer is always telling me to go to law school and sure he's got tons of money, and he's also very good at what he does, but he's always stressed; he's often working late, etc. I just don't see how that would be a happy life, at least not for ME.
So anyways, at the moment, I am a dogsitter and I loved my job but am about to stop due to my school schedule so will have to find something else. While in college, I'm not entirely worried about being too in love with a job, as it's mainly for money to get me by for now... but I hope I can come on here in 2yrs and say, yes, I am very happy with my job as a teacher.  |
I hope you can look back and say you love your job as a teacher as well! If you ever have a question, please feel free to ask me! I have had it pretty great at two wonderful private schools, but I've heard a lot of hard stories about first year teachers in public schools. I wish you nothing but the best and I hope teaching is everything you've dreamed it to be. Teachers Rock!!!!!! :-)
