If one of my kids decided to become a teacher I would be very dissappointed.


Why is that? It's a good profession and the pay is okay. I have a friend who's
making about 55K and has the summers off, or work summers and make 70K. You can
do very well at some schools and if you're good at it you can really help some
kids. I guess you can make more money other ways but you won't have the
emotional rewards.
I have great respect for teachers, firemen, policemen, nurses and EMTs and so
on.
