There has been a great deal of debate about whether a career in teaching is a good choice for a graduate as often it is seen as a stressful job with a poor work life balance. But teaching can be an incredibly rewarding and fulfilling career for the right person.
The satisfaction of seeing a student grasp a concept for the first time, or watching them develop and grow over the course of a year, is something that few other careers can offer.
Teaching also offers excellent job security, a competitive salary with clear progression routes, and generous holiday allowances. The pension scheme is one of the best available.
If you're passionate about your subject, enjoy working with young people, and want to make a real difference in people's lives, then teaching could indeed be your dream job.
