I would love to be a high school teacher. Social studies of some kind.
But to me there is a big differance between a teacher and a parent. Mostly that a teacher will only see any single child for four years maximum. A child never will grow close to a teacher and be able to tell him everything. A teacher will never really see himself in his students or watch them graduate college get married and have grandkids. Nobody goes crying to their teacher when they break up with their boy/girlfriend. There are so many more emotions in being a parent than any other thing you can do. To me, it just seems incomparable to anything else.
