100 reasons to become a teacher

1. Consistent Schedule – The school day starts and ends at very specific times. No sudden surprises that you have to work the opening or closing shift!
2. Summer – What other career can provide a 2½ month break and then a chance to restart with a new group.
3. Winter Break – Guaranteed Christmas and New Years with family and friends. No begging the boss for time off or praying you get to line up your vacation with your significant other’s. Guaranteed time off!
4. Minimum Days – What other job has specific days or weeks where you only work 4 hours, but get paid for a full day!
5. Can stay as late as you need or leave right away – The school day doesn’t end for a teacher when the bell rings. There is usually detention and tutoring, but it can end on time every once in a while when you really want to go home.
6. Sub finder – Many districts allow you to call in sick to a computer system. No need to practice your sick voice before calling in.
7. 10 days – Every teacher starts the year with 10 days for illness or personal necessity. Good to have all these days at the beginning of the year and not have to get them one by one based on days and hours. Bonus for the roll over to the next year.
8. Holidays and Weekends – Having this time off is a gift that teachers take for granted too often.
9. Pay scale – A teacher can improve their salary for each year of experience that they work. Also additional education builds your salary as well.
10. You’ll Never Be Bored Again – Meetings, planning, grading, desegregating data, analyzing student report, reading files, contacting parents, etc. A cure for common boredom.
