Teaching is one of the most rewarding jobs I’ve experienced. If you like it, and you can get a job doing it, I don’t think it’s something you’ll regret.

I have to agree with Kelly about the totalling seeing you as a teacher. I’ve figured for a long time now that you’d be great at it so if it makes you happy go for it. Besides, maybe you’re supposed to learn all this cool stuff so that you can write about it and pass it on to other people who are considering it.

It takes some people a lifetime to figure out what gives them joy, so if you find that teaching is something that makes you happy – go for it! By the way, as I read your post all I kept thinking was how I could totally see you as a teacher. I think you would be amazing.

We have such a small window of life in this world, and out society has decreed that you must spend a large portion of it earning your right to live. If you can do so and derive great joy from it, I think you almost owe it to yourself. Good luck!

Whatever you decide to do I’m sure you’ll do it well. I never felt much of a connection to other peoples’ kids until I started teaching Sunday School, and then all of a sudden I realized how much fun they are. So I totally get it. As for writing, I don’t think you have to give it up – but time off couldn’t hurt, right?
