1. The more you teach, the more chances you have to give back to the community and contribute to influencing the minds of future leaders, game-changers, innovators, and movers. 

Especially if you’re leading by example, you can be sure your students will turn out to be their best selves.

2. No two days are the same.

Most jobseekers cringe at the idea of having to do the exact same things every day. The great thing about teaching is that it offers a lot of variety. 

Each school year, you get to teach new sets of students with varying characters, experiences, and ideas. 

As their teacher, you can incorporate new topics, upgrade your teaching style, and design new lessons to spruce and liven up the classroom.

3. You’ll get to learn as well as teach.

A topic is better learned when you’re starting to teach it. 

During classes, your students will ask questions. Most of the time, they are amusing and interesting that you have to dig deeper and get a better understanding of the subject area in question. 

For example, if you’re a science teacher, you can also be a science student every school year. In the process, you’d have the opportunity to integrate new research, technology, and other scientific breakthroughs into your lessons.

4. Teachers can work all over the world.

Another major advantage of being a certified educator is that you can teach virtually anywhere – coast to coast and in any type of school. 

5. Teaching is the best job in the world.

Not only because it is a noble profession, but it also allows you to be continuously creative and be better professionally. 

In every lesson, you can hone your creativity by adding interest to capture your students’ attention. 

Teachers nowadays have plenty of opportunities on their hands to be creative and exhaust all methods possible to make an optimum learning environment for students.

6. Get independence.

A teacher is the pillar of every classroom. This means you’ll be the one to decide on what’s best for your students and how you intend to design your lesson plans. 

While it is necessary to follow the outline of your curriculum, you still get the freedom to infuse your own personality as you ace your way to teach.

7. You’ll have more than just a job.

Most of the time, teachers enjoy a great summer vacation, not to mention holiday breaks and spring vacations. 

If you’re a teacher with kids, this is a great advantage since you’ll get to spend quality time with them since they’ll be on vacation too. 

8. You are constantly learning new skills.

Just because you’re a teacher doesn’t mean that your learning stops there. Aside from teaching in your subject area of specialization, you also learn how to coach sports events, run school clubs, do crafts and arts, and even student counseling.

9. You build positive relationships with students, colleagues, parents, and the wider community.

Teachers are being looked up to not only by students but also by people surrounding them. 

Since they do a good job in shaping the future and molding the minds of youth, they effortlessly create positive relationships as they continue to interact and influence the younger generation.

10. You become a role model. People look to you for advice and guidance and that feels pretty good.

Doing a noble job makes you an idol of the crowd. Not only students, colleagues, and parents value your insights and that gives you a sense of pride.

11. The children teach you as much as you teach them.

You may be the teacher, but that doesn’t mean that it’s only you who does the teaching. As every teaching day approaches, there will always be moments where you can learn just from an innocent comment from the kids.

Summary:

Benefits of Becoming a Teacher

If you’re ever wondering, “why should I be a teacher” or having doubts about the occupation, below is a list of some benefits this career has to offer: 

• A fulfilling job with tangible results – As a teacher, you’re able to see the impact that you’re having on the lives of students. You can watch them improve, become a role model, and so much more. 

• Time off during holidays – With teaching, your time off follows the school calendar. While it may not be exact, many teachers are able to take time off during the winter holidays and over the summer. 

• Shaping the next generations – While it may sound cliché, teachers are educating and impacting the lives of future generations. A majority of what they learn is in the hands of teachers, so as a teacher, you have great responsibility and influence. 

• A dynamic work environment with new experiences – Being a teacher is hardly boring. You are faced with challenges and different scenarios each day. Not every student is the same, so your work environment changes with the students that you may be teaching. 

• Work with parents and students towards the same goal – Many parents care a great deal about the education that their child may receive. Being a teacher, you are able to collaborate with parents on goals and objectives that they may want their child to achieve. Similarly, you can work with students to see if they have the same ideas and how best it would be to go about attaining them.

As a young girl I discussed ways with my father to change this world. I always wanted to join Civil Services so that I could wipe away corruption and could do justice to the poor and economically weaker sections of the society.  My father advised me to become a teacher instead, and I agreed after his logical explanation.  

He was of the opinion that in order to fight corruption, I myself would have to step into the quicksand of corruption and that too would become the same once I left. But if I would become a teacher, in a year I would teach at least 100 kids and out of those 100 if I would be successful in influencing even 20 kids, it would become their habit to say no to corruption. Then in turn these 20 would be able to influence many more. Moreover, these were the future of our nation too. So it would be doubly influential. One that this generation would decrease the % of corrupt people and Second that they would influence and increase the % of honest people in the society.

I really had fallen in love with the idea and then there was no turning back. I became a teacher and am into this profession for the past 28 years and I feel proud for my contribution to the society in the form of true and honest citizens. 

THE DROPS OF HONEST CITIZENS I HAVE DROPPED IN THE OCEAN LIKE INDIA WILL DEFINITELY MAKE A DIFFERENCE.

A teacher means Guru and Guru means who shows us the light. The light of knowledge, wisdom, ethics, and awareness. Degrees are not enough,  for teaching. Teaching means a passion for your students and a Bond between student and teacher. There is one thing on a teacher's mind that's the patience to watch the results. It's not easy to teach a concept and on the other hand, results are there in front of us. Today few teachers are losing their patience and they spoil a seed in the form of a student. So I must say teachers are not manufactured teachers are born as teachers.

This is something which reminds me 

Teacher by choice or by chance. Well truely noted out of 100 atleast 20-30 teachers we can find them to be by chance.

But the question is Should I be a teacher?

As far as my case is concerned I never thought to be a teacher but then it became a passion, an achievement and an aim to work for children, not only to make them learn something or get some knowledge but to be a cultured and happy individual who is a success not only in a career but in life 

To have a strong bond created amongst the old and young generation through this media and yes education itself is a media to invoke change

Teacher is the other name of positive change as rightly said.

A pen is mightier than a sword and that pen can be of a teacher, an author or a writer of anything.

Therefore, a true teacher is who instils the real GYAN,   VALUES, the VISIONARY ATTITUDE, the COMMITMENT, the SPIRITUALITY, the effervescence of PERSEVERANCE, the HUMANITY etc and for all it's that basic power which comes automatically in a true teacher to be the torchlight of masses.

I feel to express better in society one can be a teacher as this Guru is the only person who is a leader to bring harmony and can create dreamland though I feel sad to see the kind of teachers today considering teaching a business but don't want to go in details.

Teacher Profession is a noble Profession. Every student is in the hands of a teacher in the school. A teacher shapes the student like a clay into a Good pot,useful pot and a fruitful pot. Teacher is like a sculptor who can shape the student into a beautiful statue who become the good citizens. Apart from imparting knowledge to the students, a teacher take care of the student. She is the second mother to a child. Preacher from Temple, Mosque and Church cannot come inside the school. A teacher is the good preacher for a student who teach moral. Values not only for their worldly life but also for the eternal life. Gods chosen field is the profession of teacher and We are fortunate to be a teacher. IAS, IPS officer and famous Doctors will respect the teachers when they meet forgetting their profession and they will be very proud of their teachers. A teacher us like a ladder and feels happy when a student reaches the top position. Teacher profession is the only profession who will not become jealous or anger about their students.Instead feeling proud of every student who come out with flying colours as if their own child has achieved. And Teachers always looks very young compared to their classmates in other profession because they feel very happy with the young minds. Love to be a teacher.
