I've been sort of job searching for awhile, trying to find what it is I want to "do with my life".
I've been giving serious thought to becoming a teacher. I would prefer high school... and public school at that. I used to think I wouldn't want to teach anyone younger than college age kids, but now that I'm a bit older (all of 26) I think I could handle high school, too.
I have a couple of friends who are going back to school to get their masters in teaching (in Ohio, you get licensed. Eventually you have to have a masters. So for folks like me, that have a bachelors but NOT in education, it makes sense to just get the masters & then start teaching). But I also have a couple of friends that did their undegrad studies in teaching, loved it the whole time- went through student teaching & were overjoyed with the experience- and then after about 2 years of 'real' teaching decided they didn't like it.
So I was hoping some of the teachers on GC could give me some pros/cons to the job. Thanks!
