I am enrolled in a teaching alternative program but observing reading and even watching a movie about a teacher’s first year has turned me off of teaching. It is a lot harder and more stress than most people realize. The pay is barely enough and you are often underappreciated. Teachers don’t completely get summers off. There is plenty of trainings meetings and planning for the upcoming school year. There are lots of ppl to answer to. I worry about finding my first job. I already know this is not something I see myself doing long term. I hope to do this for a year or two and then go for nursing. I wish I could do so now but money is tight and I’m tired of living with my parents. I feel something is wrong that i already have stress and anxiety and I haven’t even started teaching yet.
