Whislt I might agree with an expand upon Auld Yin's view on the evil that is Unions in teaching (& many other professions for that matter), you couldn't pay me enough money in the world to be a teacher. I suspect, if those that snipe, had to do it themselves, they'd rapidly find themselves coming to a similar point of view.

I think anybody heading into a form of management job should be required to have spent at least one year teaching in the classroom.

But I don't want to regret not ever knowing.
I do love my job and my school and that potentially is a huge personal wrench for me - not being involved with children and education.

Re: If not a teacher, then what?
People are different. Some have an itch that has to be scratched, no matter what.
Some people will think that a secure job that they can do with ease is the recipe for a perfect life.
Others will view working the same job, that may have ceased to challenge them, year after year until retirement as profoundly depressing.
