If you’re considering teaching, you might want to look into opportunities in Canada, where teachers are generally better compensated and face fewer systemic issues than in the United States.
I’m currently a teacher looking to leave the profession by the end of the school year due to various challenges.
I would strongly discourage pursuing a career in teaching based on my experiences.
Teaching in the U.S. is likely to undergo significant changes, which could make the profession even more challenging. I would recommend reading up on potential educational reforms before deciding.
I enjoy teaching at a small religious school, which pays less than public schools but offers a supportive environment. It wouldn’t be worth it for me in a public school setting.
