The childcare job takes up a couple evenings a week (the schedule is extremely variable), plus Sunday mornings; I work a minimum of 5 hours a week, but it is usually more. Add to that the couple of hours I spend studying every day, and you end up with a 40-hour plus week. I also babysit occasionally.
If I were to become a middle school teacher, my workday would start at 8:00am and go until 4pm, with a 45-minute lunch and a prep period. I'd also get summers off, and regular holidays, plus sick leave AND personal days. Sounds good to me. And 8th graders aren't that bad.
