Still if teaching is your real dream then you HAVE to do it. Work is horrible and I hate it. This summer i've been working at Vauxhall cleaning all the crap off their machines and stuff. It's been a nightmare but at least it's taught me that I have to do a job I want to do. Not just wanting to do it for money but enjoying what I do. Can't wait to get back to uni in September and study hard to get a job I will enjoy. Seriously you will just stress yourself to death in a boring job.
Jesus, where did you guys go to school? I'm a senior in High School now, and I can say that every single one of my teachers (except maybe two or three) were very very good, and they cared a LOT about the students. I had a Math teacher that would come to school early and stay after late so she could always help students, and even set up special appointments if you wnat to.
My mom's a teacher too. She used to love it, but with the news laws being implemented, including the AIMS requirements, that No Child Left Behind shit, and more and more restrictions, she is really finding teaching isn't the teacher teaching what she/he knows, but what the school district says they should know. I thought being a teacher might be cool (teaching computers, though), but with this world where teachers can get sued for giving a student a 0 because he cheated, it's just ridiculous.
