re: What do you think about elementary school teacher as a career?

I think it's a good career if you love children and you can deal with their bad patents and school administrators.

There is always a need for teachers, police, fire, nurses, correction, utility workers. They are never appreciated and will always be under paid but, they are great careers if you are the right kind of person.

I just retired from being a probation officer after 26 years.

Go for it.
