Need some advice please, I am a ta, and love my job. I'm going to uni to start a degree with the hope at the end if it doing a pgce/schools direct. Having spoken to colleagues, some new to teaching, others established teachers, the majority are saying don't do it. No time for family, 70+hour weeks. detriment to health etc etc.
I have a fairly young family, and a child who has emotional issues, which can erupt fairly quickly. I am in my early 40s. This would be primary teaching.
I wanted advice on whether, if you were starting now, would it be something you would actively go into, if you had family commitments?
If not teaching, what careers could you go into with Childhood studies degree? Many thanks
