Hmm, I just graduated this year and I am contemplating to take
up teaching as a profession.
I see that the starting pay is reasonably so much higher than if i
were to enter the private sector. Beside paywise, I like kids a
lot. Oh yeah, so I have checked that given my Degree, i can only
teach primary school. This is fine with me bah.
My only concern is that, some quarters of my friends feel that i am
wasting my Business adminstration degree and what i have learnt in
my uni years by just entering the teaching profession. And some of
them also felt that, once im in the teaching profession, it will be
very very difficult for me to make the switch back to private
sector already; because my work experience (i.e. teaching primary
school children) will really be irrelevant to the private sector at
large in the future.
So I hope to hear the opinion of current NIE trainee teachers,
perhaps even teachers, or ex-teachers who have made the switch to
private sector.
Thank you very much. ;-)
