Is It Stupid?

   If that makes you feel better, do it, I personally don't see it bad or embarrassing to graduate as a lawyer and become a teacher. In my opinion, you need at least 2 subjects, because you only have to go around several schools with history to get the full staff. I personally do not know anyone who is a teacher and takes so much. Half the staff of a young teacher is about BGN 300. after taxes.

   As a graduate of history and flatly refusing to become a teacher, I can tell you that you have no idea what you're going to get involved in. For starters forget about the half-day legend! You teach for half a day, the rest of the time you will deal with administrative work, preparation for the next lesson, checking tests, etc. The summer vacation will not be 3 months for you either, because they will send you as a quaestor for various exams, as you gain more experience, they will give you and check your graduation papers, you will go to various teachers' seminars, where they will explain another wise idea invented by some "expert" from the Ministry of Education on how to teach (There are strict requirements for what exactly you can teach. No one will allow you to talk to children about your views.). Then in September you will have remedial exams ... And if you find yourself in a school with a feudal director who thinks about the law, you will be very sad. Add after all this the spoiled students who have no idea why they are in your class, the nervous parents who will be ready to raise a scandal why, oh horror, you wrote 2 to their priceless child ... Do you still think that is like in the movie "Naughty Classroom"? And I forgot, the Ministry will come up with new entertainment for you every two days, and the crazier the idea, the more obliged you are as a teacher to implement it. Believe me, it is no coincidence that young people do not want to become teachers! It's not even just about money, which is a living mockery. My cousin is a teacher and I see her every day trying to teach the children something, but she is handcuffed because the Ministry has a different view of teaching, and the headmistress is of the type I described above. It is no coincidence that I DEFINITELY and from the first year I refused to enroll in the additional subjects that gave me the right to become a history teacher. Now I work in a museum, I am calm and I do not regret my decision.

   For 800 BGN I tear my intestines all day in the oils, misery and cold! Where did you see a teacher with common sense? Or to live comfortably?

   To me, the idea seems great :) Even without that, most lawyers don't have a job, but I don't know if history teachers will have one. They are mostly sought after in mathematics, chemistry, languages ​​... What's the point of being a teacher, when you say administrative work, I don't know why everyone is so afraid of it. It seems very good to me to be a teacher, you write at least 3 so that you don't have any problems, you bleat on some exams, very important. And imagine her all day from morning to night standing closed or in a cubicle in front of the blue screen and like me, for example, clicking numbers, horror. Young people do not want to study for teachers, because they have to work hard, to try to get the children on the right path. But with age, values ​​change and it is no wonder that some of today's young people retrain over the years. What is more valuable than education and health, of course?

   And to supplement the teachers have 56 days off. What could be better than that. What other profession has so much leave? And also let's not forget that they have a flu vacation, a non-school but present day (understand from 9 to 11), a sports afternoon. Sightseeing on a working day, etc. Then at least a week before the end of the term, especially the end of the school year, they do nothing, do not teach lessons, stand and doze off, take time. I see the neighbor coming home from work at 11.30. In the office at 11.30 my half working day has not passed yet.

   Number 6, apply for a teaching position, teachers are wanted, what are you waiting for ?!

   Stupid or not, one must follow one's own path and no one has the right to interfere. I see that you have a great desire at the moment. I tend to believe that you may not like teaching so much. In theory, it's a big deal, but teachers do much more than teach. You don't work exactly half a day, you work more. There is administrative work and you will work separately in both shifts, not just one. In the summer you do not rest for 3 months, as every student thinks. I know teachers, it's really a lot different than I thought. Being a teacher is a vocation, there are people who feel great in this position. If you think this is the thing that will make you happy, act. I advise you to try both as a lawyer and as a teacher. Make a basis for comparison, give yourself a chance to get to know both work environments before deciding which one to work for permanently. As for the second higher, great, there is nothing better. It is right to give oneself the opportunity to choose in the future, as long as one can afford it in the present. As long as you can handle learning and engage, act. It is not known where life will take you. You are a woman, it is good to have a choice, because one day you will consider your life with children.

   Whatever works for you works. You can't be really good at your job if you don't love it.

   I have a friend who is a teacher of universal science in primary school (ie has a rich general culture and teaches all sorts of subjects) and teaches students separately, attends seminars, dance parties (teaches and dances to students), leads playground openings in the city, etc. It is so busy that there is really no more than a month of rest in the year - as in other professions. I agree with the above comment that the teaching profession is mostly a vocation, because you must not just have a diploma, but love what you do in order to be able to perform it properly! And now let's lighten up a bit. :) Since several people have already said above that the teaching profession is very difficult and time consuming, I suggest anyone who thinks this way, to catch the much easier and easier task of working on a lathe and milling machine for about the same pay! You have 20 days off a year, not. So, you will have security! :) It's 10 hours a day, maybe more, otherwise there are 8 on the piece of paper called "contract" (that is, no surprise here either, because you will also be writhing during teaching hours during non-working hours). The Sabbath goes without saying. It is true that you will not be sitting behind a desk, but constantly doing it, but you repeat in your mind that this is for health! :) You will even save yourself from such difficult seminars, because when turning you are "glued" tightly to the machine until the last second and agile you have to work out the daily norm, which is usually 20-30% higher than physically possible. This will teach you to develop as individuals! You won't have to touch germs with pencils, chalks, textbooks and notebooks, because you work exclusively with oils, ferrous and non-ferrous metals, ten-year-olds are well soaked with rags and breathe wonderful air (refreshed with the breath of half Mendeleev table) in only a seemingly foggy and dusty workshop. And the vapors from the acid bath in the next room help you to be cheerful and perfectly able to work. In such an environment, microbes simply do not grow, that even cockroaches escape. What better news for you !? :)

The noise of lathes, cutters, press brakes, presses, punches and drills is like fine music, caressing your ears, and has nothing to do with the nasty and boring silence in the classroom! :) The metal shavings that bounced in your eyes, the periodic cuts, abrasions and broken fingernails will complete the work cycle and help you get unique memories of your work for a lifetime! Once you get home in the evening, even a long shower will not deprive you of the scent of the working atmosphere! The black under your nails will still be as saturated as it was during the shift. At least once a week, the of the workshop will come to make you happy with words like "You'll finish this after a new order pops up now and you'll make it first!" Or "Bai Georgi didn't come today and he has to you take his norm too! ". Abe, the idyll is great, so I wonder how there are so many balaclavas who prefer the unbearably hard work of a teacher on a clean desk to the casual squatting in the metalworking shop. :))) Irony aside, I work as a freelancer and would not return to full-time employment in a company or government agency. The responsibilities are more, often the working hours are noticeably longer, but I also have the complete freedom to allow myself a few days off almost any time or to go out at any time of the day for a walk around the city, outside it. The income is many times higher than the teacher's salary or that of a regular bachelor.
