It really is hard to find a job where you can go home at the end of the day and feel like what you did that day has benefitted the human race at all.
Why do we have to sell our soul just to survive?
Capitalism
Because the economy is based on exploitation and profit maxing, not the benefit of society.
Well it’s not that hard
Please do not become a teacher unless you really really enjoy it. It is a fucking hard job. You will be working way more hours in real life than on paper. You will need to play a thousand different roles for hundreds of kids. You will be emotionally destroyed day to day. You will need to be able to listen to kids as they explain why they are considering suicide or trying to figure out what to do since they got pregnant.
You will be asked to not only teach but plan, grade, do extracurriculars, stay after school for kids who cant get a quick ride home, etc.
So many people try to get into this job because its a way to genuinely feel good about your work. And it is. But you have to be a bit masochistic to do it and you have to really fucking love it.
I can't imagine doing anything else, but the amount of burnout Ive seen in my career is unreal. People do not know what they are getting into.
So with that said, if you try it and arent happy after a few years, please dont stick it out. Its unfair to yourself and the kids you teach. Ive seen it too many times.
Yes, but I reckon that also stems from being understaffed and to a lesser extent, underpaid.
If you had more colleagues to divide the workload and if classrooms had fewer kids the job would probably be a lot less stressful.
Gosh darn reality making things hard.
Your point?
My point is that what you’re saying in these comments has little basis in reality.
“It’s not that hard” is a painfully ignorant stance to take.
I mean it definitely is. Yes those jobs have openings now, but if too many people switch then suddenly there are no more openings.
Also both of those positions require specific education and certifications. It's not always that easy to drop what you're doing and entirely reinvent your career
I'll also note that there are a number of nurses that feel that they can't actually make a difference because their days are spent running appeals against souless insurance companies or that anecdotally they just spend their time being yelled at by patients. I've also talked with teachers that have complained about sacrificing so much for the kids they teach only to have those very students abuse them or steal from them.
These folks are definitely more likely to actually make a difference, but it is far from easy or rewarding most of the time.
Mm yes, he forgot to mention the silly extra requirements of food and shelter.
I would literally rather work with dozens of people in violent psychosis than work with one developmentally normal modern-day child.
