While I've done some specific teaching of economics, my mom has been a teacher for almost the last thirty years. One thing to possibly take into account is how teaching affects the whole family, not just the teacher. There always seemed to be something else that the school required of her because she was one of their best. Like someone mentioned above, the job is a year round one- if you're in class teaching, you'll be out buying supplies, taking supplemental credital classes, putting together your room, writing lessson plans for the next year... the list goes on and on. I know my mom LOVES her job, for a lot of the same reasons already listed. While I have a healthy respect for those brave enough to be and remain in the teaching profession, I know that it is not the field for me.
