I just graduated in high school as valedictorian. I would like to teach either English or history. I am a guy, but I am very patient and enjoy working with kids. I don't want to do it for the money- but to help others. But what is it really like? I feel like there will be nothing else like it. I feel like I have a "calling" for it. I want to do something that is creative, that will allow me to have plenty of time to get married and have a family, and that will let me help others. How much control do you have over what you teach and how you teach? How is the education field? Any stories or thoughts would help!
