You don't know if you like something before you try it. Why is it then, that prospective teachers commit to months of training before stepping foot into a classroom? With no pay, mounting student bills, and a tsunami of insecurity due to inexperience, no wonder so many student teachers quickly change their major! It's quite disheartening. Especially to a new highschool senior faced with the daily questions, "So you want to be a teacher? Are you sure? Are you good at teaching? Do you like it? You know teachers don't make any money, right?" My teaching career was nearly finished before it started. But then the phone call came.
