I'm 20 and have just finished my first year of studying English at a good University. I'm not entirely sure what I want to do career wise in the future, but I've always thought teaching might be a suitable option.
I have always been told that I would make a good teacher. I like giving presentations and leading others. I like children and would enjoy sharing my passion for literature (although I appreciate that appreciate that there will be many students who stubbornly hate the subject...)
After reading through the comments of another AIBU thread I feel a bit worried. I've suffered from depression and anxiety in the past and a lot of people have said that teaching is probably not a suitable career if you are already prone to stress/low mood/lack of esteem.
AIBU to consider teaching as a profession? I have no idea what I could do instead. I know I'm young, etc, but I'm getting closer to an age where I need to start looking for a "proper job" and it worries me.
AIBU?
Mumsnet is putting me off becoming an English teacher...
