View submission: What drives you to stay teaching?
I have a weird condition where I am required to eat occasionally and an overwhelming need to have a roof over my head. I also like to see a doctor when I am sick.

Can you afford to pay the doctor though?

Yep, it’s what I’m good at and I get paid well in my state to do that. I am also unfortunately one of those saps whose ‘why’ really matters to them and I adore my kids. Don’t tell my admin tho, if they ask one more time I’ll scream.

And I’m counting on a nice pension to make up for the low pay and get me through the next 15-20 years.
