She lasted 3 years and then went back to school for a different degree. Of course, teaching in NYC didn't help...

Not to mention, most of them have to get second jobs in the summer anyway. Three cheers to those of you who go into the field-- I have enormous respect for what you do.

The field of teaching is nothing more than crowd control NOW....If you don't love what you're doing, you'll burn out in no time!! Not trying to be harsh....just realistic!
