<p>And that is just in the suburban schools. It is ten times worse in the city schools. I would say high school teacher is right at the bottom of my list along with: salesman, corrections officer, cashier, and gynecologist (sp?) at the free clinic.</p>
<p>Pretty much anything involving a cubicle for a long period of time. I could take like a year, with advancement in mind, but if I’m going to be stuck in a cubicle for the rest of my life, forget it.</p>
<p>I wouldn’t mind being a high school teacher, guess you guys have some problem with that. It’s my teachers that have been really great to me that make me want to you know, do the whole “giving back” thing. I wouldn’t want to teach underclassmen though…that would suck.</p>
<p>And I agree with RaboKarabekian, anything involving prolonged periods of alone time in a cubicle would be absolute hell for me. Even if it was only for a year. That’s like, “Give me that bottle of Tylenol in my pocket, I’m ending it now.”</p>
<p>I would love to be a high school teacher (non-humanities) assuming I got paid well.
I wouldn’t mind business but it’s not spiritually fulfilling … nothing you’re doing contributes to the over all good in this world, no one will ever thank you, and if you do you’re not contributing in a direct manner. (Compare to Engineer, Doctor, Scientist, etc…)</p>
<p>I wouldn’t want to be a… hell I’ll do anything as long as I enjoy the people I’m working with and I get paid modestly well.</p>
<p>Being a doctor. Most doctors I know are miserable people who thought they could get rich but arent. And then they lose their families and join the mental asaylum they previously worked in. But thats just a huge generalization ;).</p>
<p>Being an investment banker/financial analyst would have me thinking suicide. It seems like a complete waste of time to dedicate your life to cramming numbers and working 100 hour days when it really means nothing. Medicine on the other hand makes a contribution to society.</p>
<p>doctor
accountant (in fact any profession which involves commerce/business skills or knowhow)
engineer (I wanted to be an engineer back in sophomore year, but studying for the insanely competitive entrance exams in my country has made me realize that it is not my cup of tea)</p>
