I love kids, so it's an easy yes for me. I'd be a teacher if that didn't entail horrible wages and depressingly limited options to help students in real ways.

On that last point, I think it greatly depends on which country you live in and the society/community. It always amazes me how differently each society/community will treat or view the "teachers". From what I can tell, the US is not too different from Australia in that there's some respect, but it's also largely just another job which appears to have great work/life balance with school holidays and a "9-3" (and yes I'm aware this is VERY far from the reality), and dare I say, it's a career which people often take because of their academic performance (i.e. counter-intuitively, it doesn't require great marks to become a teacher).. Then I compare with how it's viewed in some Asian countries where teachers are respected/revered and kids and parents both want to impress and do well for (and suck up to) the teachers.

If you can understand this, I'm 2/cosC for you.
