teacher here. my last line of work before retirement, I hope. there were several before this. Anyway, it's so so much fun part of the time. But when it's not, it is a huge amount of work in conditions that are insulting to one's dignity and sometimes heartbreakingly sad.
But there's that fun. Not too many jobs are fun and meaningful. Still most days it's a toss up as to whether I made the right decision. Some it's "Why did I ever get into this profession?"
My mom and dad are both retired teachers. They both said, "DON'T DO IT!" I do not think I made the wrong decision, but seven years in, I now know what they meant.
