I am thinking about becoming a teacher, it seems really fun and being able to make a difference in the next generation possibly is really cool. The only thing is the salary, it’s the ONLY thing holding me back from making a decision

Please for anyone going into teaching! Do not work more than a few minutes after your contract hours!! It will burn you out! Everyone at my school knew I left right on time 90% of the time so I was never asked to do things after school. I have that right :)

I have been contemplating on becoming a teacher. I am so nervous about it because of how much education has changed as well as the kids. But this is something that has been in my mind for quite some time.

I had quite the first year of teaching... my classroom management was excellent, I loved my students, but I worked at a school with helicopter parents, so that made the job at times a little difficult. However, what really made me want to not do teaching anymore was not the students or the salary or even the hours spent outside of the classroom... it was the grade level teachers I was grouped with as well as the admin. I plan on returning to teaching, we just completed our family and therefore, I feel ready to go back but this time around I am going to find a school where I feel comfortable and valued. We always talk about interviewing for schools to see if WE are the right fit for THEM yet, we should also choose whether THEY are the right fit for US!

I've never dreamed of becoming a teacher but it honestly feels like a calling. I want to go back to school for specifically mathematics education. But I do want my major to not solely be education based, it will be very stem focused so that just in case, if I don't want to teach anymore I can have another career path to fall back on, like I could try to become an actuary or go into computer programming.

Currently in an office job and I hate it. Considering education badly. Love your content

I’m 25 years old and I am trying my best to find my calling/career in life. I’ve been thinking about becoming a teacher and one of my worst approaches before even going back to college to become a educator was asking ppl for advice who have had negative experiences with being a teacher. They told me that the public system sucks and don’t get into teaching. I appreciate real honest advice but it seems that they were just projecting all negative advice. And that caused me to be more depressed because I thought I figured out my life with knowing what I want to do but ppl kept pushing me in this vicious cycle of me being unknowing and remaking me doubt myself on what I want to do in life. Anyway thanks for this video and I’m still thinking about jumping out on faith and giving it a try

I’m currently in college to become a teacher, I’d love to hear some classroom management strategies!

Thank you for this video. Now in my 30s and I’ve now decided to return to school and go into teaching. I feel like teaching older kids is best for me and I’m very interested in teaching history. It’s something I wanted to do as a career but as I got into college I wanted to find something else. My dad was a teacher and I knew from seeing him how many hours outside school it involved, to grading papers to dealing with some of the students. But I feel like teaching can be rewarding and I want the students to be inspired.

I applied to a uni yesterday, I've always wanted to do teaching, with all the pros and cons, at the end of the day it's worth seeing the kids grow into beautiful humans😁

Wish me luck to get accepted 🙏❤ p.s you're amazing!!

[pearlajai]

I am almost there Jacqueline! I will be finishing my last semester of undergrad this fall and will be applying to start my credentials program in the spring. Future CA elementary teacher here🤩

Whenever I need motivation for school and studying I come to your channel because you never disappoint! I hope you enjoy the rest of your summer ☀️🥰

I wanna become a teacher because I want to not only teach them important information that they need to know but also make it fun. There are some really annoying/boring teachers out there and I want to stand out and make learning enjoyable and fun for everyone

[thezzach]

Excellent video. After decades of unsatisfactory work in business, I'm going back to school to become a teacher. Although I certainly agree that teachers are underpaid and underappreciated, which is sad and inexcusable, I would rather work with kids that with adults trapped in the rat race. The kids' innocence and exuberance are worth far more than being rich or "successful."
You seem like a lovely person. I'm sure your kiddos love you.
Thank you very much for being a teacher!! We need teachers like you.

I have been teaching elementary students with 35 years. I love my job, except for the fact of the endless, redundant paperwork and meetings! Next year will be my last, I will miss the kids, but everything else I am ready to kick to the curb, and never look back!

[IHeartDavid]

Wow thank you so much for this video. Even though teaching may be hard I believe teachers are so important and im very appreciative of the one’s I had in my lifetime who truly showed me they loved their job and spent so much time teaching me so much! They do some of the most difficult and important work. To be honest I’ve always wanted to be a teacher, I love teaching, learning, organizing, and planning. However I have always been discouraged from this career, the most cons I hear are 1. You don’t get paid enough 2. It’s emotionally draining 3. It’s very difficult to deal with students and parents. I would like to learn more about the benefits though such as insurance, retirement, summer breaks, and being able to teach internationally. Would you be able to make a video with some of that information?

Great content!

I am so excited to teach Spanish!

I completed my bachelor's degree while living in my car; I spent the better part of 5 years traveling around Latin America, and I became fluent in Spanish at 25 years of age. I am currently enrolled in an alternative teaching program to teach Spanish, but as I will be around 8 months to get into the classroom, I've decided to get my CDL. A company will be paying for my training and I will be creating videos during the process and sharing as much as I can for everyone else out there interested in driving! I begin on the 31st.

I would like to teach now, but I have not been able to find any districts that will allow me to teach without a license. For reference, I'm in Ohio!

Take care.

I work the trades, many of our jobs also have 3+ month long vacations. It rocks. Oil rigs often pay $80-$130k per year and you only work 6 months a year. It’s extremely hard work though.

I myself am an electrician going back to school to be a teacher, most electricians are making $54-$72 an hour + amazing benefits and very often I get December and January off + holidays

My great-great grandma was a teacher, my great-grandpa was a teacher, my grandma was a teacher and my grandpa still is, my mom is a teacher and my dad used to be until he became a principal, and I also wanna become a teacher, but the only thing holding me back is salary. I really think teachers should be paid more since they make such a huge difference in the world.

[faithlam]

Wow you work so hard as a teacher I am so proud of you! 👏🏼

[CheesyGator]

I’m debating being a teacher! 25 years old and love people. I love working with people and kids are amazing! I have no idea if it’s something I want to do. I feel like it would be fun and it could be great!
