i hate my cushy bullshit job where i make obscene amounts of money. should i quit my job and become a teacher? here's what i'm thinking so far:

pros:

  • i won't hate my job anymore
  • my job is a real job where i actually contribute to society
  • summer vacation sounds dope

cons:

  • maybe i still hate my job
  • my job would be a real job where i do work
  • i won't make obscene amounts of money
  • wtf grad school is expensive

alternatively, are there other jobs i should try to do instead? mind you i have no skills and would probably need to go back to school.

    ... teaching good propaganda? idk they weren't implying that ALL public school is doing that, just US or western public school. i see no reason why we have to remove public schools if their purpose is to disseminate information, just that the information being disseminated in the US sucks currently

      Yes, it does suck. My point, since you've replied to me in four different places, is once again that those kids do need to be educated, somehow, and that public schools are a public necessity unless we want to regress back to an even worse time. It's not a great career choice for most and I left it behind myself, but "it's all propaganda anyway so just end it all" isn't a wise or sustainable long term answer to how fucked up it's gone.
