Have you ever thought of becoming a teacher? If yes, this article is for you. I will explain a bit more about this career in this article. I will explain what is like to be a teacher, what teachers are doing, where they work, how much money you make as a teacher, what kind of training they need, is there any danger and what is the retirement age.
Being a teacher is hard, they need to captivate the student's attention by doing some work that the students will like. They need to be really creative to come up with some activities that includes work. They also have to deal with all the different way to work of the students and their personalities. Teachers also check homework and correct exams.
Teachers do some presentation every class, they give work to the students, they correct them. At home, they also work by doing some correction, finding some books, prepare activities for the next class. In class, they have to be there for their students and be able to help them or get the resources to help.
Before arriving in class, teachers are creating their lesson of the day. Later, they will be in class will the students, they will give their class, take a break to eat, and then they have some professional period where they can correct and grade their students. They will have more classes in the afternoon and finish around 4 or 5. At home, they will recreate something for the next day and maybe do more corrections.

A teacher in Quebec is making between 45000$ and 100000$ depending on the school their working at, and the numbers of years they have of experience.
The dangers are to feel overwhelmed or not able to create enough work, and as fast as you need, Not being able to answer the kids or help them.
I don't think there's a lot of chances that robots replace teachers because there is a human behind the questions the students are asking for exemple. I don't think a robot would be able to help a student as much as a human can do. Also, robots will be probably less interactive and fun for the kids, a human can make jokes, and expression that would change the ambiance in the classroom.
Teachers normally retire around 65. the earliest retirement is 55.
To finish, I am now in the process to become a teacher. I still don't know what class I would like to give, but I'm in the social science profile education in my school to learn a bit more about the kids habits, a lot of general stuff I could teach. I would maybe like to be a sport teacher and that would add more things to know and a specific program to do in college. I hope It will help you know a little bit more about being a teacher, and maybe give you the interest to become one.
