Would you rather be a teacher 35k or a Lawyer $$$$$

teachers in Canada do just fine.

Not all lawyers make good money. Single practitioners can put in many hours for a soso salary and no benefits.

Teachers make much more than 35k where I am. They have summers off and great benefits. My answer teacher.

What subject?

At one point, being a grade-school science teacher might have appealed to me, but after a few things that happened in my life, I don't want to be a teacher. Why? Because

1.) My mom got a Master's Degree in Home Economics when I was a kid, but she only got 2 jobs from it in 15 years, despite all she learned, because trying to get a teaching job in central IL (home of Illinois State University, a Teacher's College) is about as easy as trying to find water in Patagonia. Only way to get a teaching job there is if someone dies, or if someone quits, and both are rare. The few teaching jobs available are snatched up as quickly as possible by talentless idiots from teacher's unions. After seeing what happened to her, I swore never to become a school teacher.

2.) I did not have a good time in school as a student, mostly due to having to deal with moving around, culture shock, assholes in my classes, teacher politics, being bored with the curriculum for dummies, and emotional problems. Last thing I needed was a job where I was brought back into such an environment again, and even on the other side of the field, it can still be a nightmare.

3.) Trying to be a public school teacher in this day and age (even at college) has become a different kind of hell. They now force all student teachers to learn and use that evil Common Core, regardless of whether they want to use it in their lesson plan or not. Not to mention all the identity politics and PC crapola going on. Plus, many schools refuse to hire conservative teachers these days. They want all liberal lefty drones teaching our poor, unsuspecting kids.

Despite the fact that being a lawyer pays a lot, the entire job takes over your life, and due to being paid more, you end up having very little free time in such a job field. Plus, regardless of who you defend in court, people all loathe and despise you and say you're going to hell (unless, of course, they need you to defend THEM in court).

Long story short, I choose neither.

Neither

How about Dentist?
