I'm seriously considering a career change to a Food Technology teacher. It seems that I have all the necessary qualifications to get onto a PGCE. My business has suffered due to the economic climate and I am bored of what I have been doing for the last 20 years anyway. I have an office based job and I never wanted to sit in an office all day. I want to do something more interactive and lively. I help out at Cubs and enjoy it and want to do something more worthwhile than trying to make money for rich people (which is what I do now).
I'm wondering what other people's experiences of going into teaching late in life is.
