Yet to understand financial motive to teach here. Where I come from, Philly, USA, teaching is one of the better paying jobs straight out of Uni, especially since only 9 month work year.
Hindsight, think I would have went that route, IF pay was at that level in 1973. Then it was a terrible paying job, and people did it for the joy of it, and the results showed. My first 2 real jobs out of HS. Lithographic Printing & Steelworker, paid more than starting teacher salaries in 1973, and no degree needed.
