You're right, not everyone can go into every profession. I didn't get into law school, I scored 15 points lower on my real LSAT that I did on all the practice ones I took. AM I smart enough to go? I think so, I dont' believe that was the route I was supossed to take, otherwise, I wouldn't have bombed the tet that day. On the same note, not everyone can teach. It's very hard, no matter what people think. I used to think anyone could do it, but then I saw two other first year teachers leave after 1 semester because the kids ate them alive. I have the same kids, and I love them.
But those teachers that left could do it. It just wasn't something they enjoyed. That's the difference.
