Many people consider teaching as a profession that one chooses when all the other options are closed. Many opinions float saying that teachers don't earn very well and the profession is no longer as respectful as it used to be. Especially, in a country like India, teachers don’t get the respect and pay that they actually deserve. Even the ones who think it's their calling tend to do something else because they feel that they won’t be able to take care of their monetary requirements if they continue to be in this profession. Some of the best IB schools in Delhi and NCR region are gracious enough to give their teachers a good salary but the situation is highly bleak in small towns and villages.
So, what if this trend continues?
We will face a dearth of teachers and be risking the education of the coming generation. But one must remember that teaching as a profession has many perks and if one has the passion for teaching then there is no looking back. Yes, you may never earn as high as in a high-profile corporate job but there are many other perks of making a career in the teaching profession and here, we mention a few of them.
Job Stability
As we all know the job markets today are increasingly unstable with the shares in the stocks going up and down, no one really knows till when they are fired next. If you are a teacher you have a reliable stable salary even in an unstable job market. Best CBSE and ICSE schools in Gurgaon and NCR pay teachers well and also treat them with respect.
Passion With Profession
Various career counsellors at different phases in your life would have advised you to follow your passion while choosing a profession. Teaching is one of those rare passions that is very safe so even if you start, with teaching it will pay less but still pay. The risk factor involved is way too less in comparison with any other profession like dancing or music or a corporate job for that matter
Lesser Working Hours
Teachers have reasonable working hours. Their shifts are much smaller than the people working in corporate offices, so the work-life balance is well maintained. If you love kids, you get to be around them for free and that is also a plus.
