5 Great Reasons Why You Should Be A Teacher

Teaching is not just something you do when you feel like it. This is a special call to people with a passion to share knowledge and put that knowledge into good use. A lot of teachers leave their positions in at least 2 years or even 4. The reason is that they just came to do a job. No passion. No calling. Then, there are those who last almost a lifetime in this profession. They see the need to educate and give their lives selflessly for this cause.

Despite this, there is still a great need for more teachers. The good thing is a teaching career can now be available for a lot of people through various means. The need for quality teachers is continuously rising everywhere and every nation.

It is a good thing that there are a lot of institutions such as universities, colleges, community colleges and online colleges that cater to the education industry. Now, it is up to you to decide if you want to take on the challenge of becoming a teacher.

Here are 5 great reasons why you should be a teacher!

1. Usher of A Brilliant Tomorrow

       When you become a teacher, you do not just change your life. You actually change the world of tomorrow. The reason is you help mold the minds of future leaders. They will be the senators, congressmen, doctors, engineers and presidents of tomorrow. You will be the one to usher them into an awesome path of greatness.

2. Control of Your Work Area

       Every time you get into your class room and shut the door, you are the only one who controls the work space. No one else. You get to enlighten the students in a way that you believe is best for them. Yes you have a syllabus to comply but you actually have authority on what happens in the room. Wow, this is like being the king of the office!

3. No Intrusion to Your Family Life

       One great advantage of being a teacher is getting to have enough time for your family. There are always weekends of and this is just the right time for you to attend to personal stuff and enjoy quality time with your loved ones. This is fantastic and can work out really well for those with children. 

4. A Natural Anti-Aging Therapy

      No matter what kind of pressure teaching students would bring, there is a natural anti-aging therapy that goes with it. When you are with young people, you actually feel like you are also one of them. Or if not, you would still feel young getting into the vibe of the younger folks in the class. When you are with them, you feel like your age doesn't change as time flies by. It's just like getting younger as you get immersed into a younger crowd. Now that's a good thing, right?

5.  No Work On Summer

       However you view it, a lot of people want their summer to be as free as possible. Some would want a part-time or short-term job. Others may want this time to maybe write a book. And there are those would want to travel and just enjoy the season. These are all possible when you are a teacher. Awesome, isn't it? You have the liberty of doing what you want in the summer without applying for a leave!

Well I hope these reasons are enough to convince you of entering a profession in the academe. Remember, when you teach, you can change the world!
