IS TEACHING A CAREER?

-
WE live in a country where in order to be successful you must follow opportunities, instead of passion. It doesn’t matter whether you are passionate about something, if it doesn’t offer enough opportunities, the chances are very slim.
I have seen many graduates taking up teaching just because they cannot get jobs in their respective fields. This is worrying because graduates become teachers because they want to be employed, not because they are passionate about the field.
Are most teachers teaching because they love the field? Are they so passionate about their work that they would want to make a huge impact at the end of the day?
With qualifications that aren’t even working for them, what are they going to tell their public? How are they going to motive them? Do the pupils look at their teachers and say, wow, I want to study hard because education really pays off.
The value of education degrades every day when a student graduates. People are completing their studies in fields that do not have enough opportunities to even accommodate 50% of them. The rate of unemployment is rising every day.
In each and every problem, there is a solution lying by the side waiting to be grabbed. Two or more heads must look at it and try to find solutions that will rescue our nation.
It’s wrong for people to study for a qualification they are not passionate about because life is a teacher. In Africa about 41% of youths are actually satisfied with their jobs.
Indeed, young adults need to be steered in the right direction and preferably by means of a structured process that helps determine what they really want from life, what their dreams are and what makes them unique.
What you do is what determines life. A career is not a game of chance. A career is precious but many people only realize this too late. We sometimes think we have everything under control.
All choices and decision we make effect our lives positively or negatively. Indeed, life is a teacher and teaching is a profession not an opportunity. Anyway its vital to follow your passion.
