Interaction with children on a day-to-day basis in or out of the classroom not only helps them, but also gives the teacher that needed sense of accomplishment. It feels good knowing you were able to help and guide someone through not only schoolwork but also life, as is true with young people. Being needed by young people gives teachers that desire to put forth-extra effort during each day and really giving them something to look forward to. .
For the most part, teachers enjoy being able to work with young people in areas that they may need guidance in. By helping young kids in need and knowing that he/she made a difference in that child's life is a Teacher's greatest reward. For some, however, helping people is not a top priority when it comes to the teaching profession. Many jobs in society today do not offer the same types of benefits as ones in this area of work. Teachers for example, enjoy holiday vacations, weather delays or postponements and long summers in which they are paid for. Because teaching can become very time consuming, teachers usually welcome these breaks to usually spend time with family, travel or enjoy hobbies that they may not have been able to do while working. Paid time off is enough in itself to attract people towards a teaching career. Quite a few teachers, even thou they enjoy the benefits, get their rewards by helping a student in need.
Over the past years teacher's salaries have increased dramatically. It has been shown that the average schoolteacher, will make anywhere between thirty-two and forty-five thousand dollars annually plus previously listed benefits. It is also probable that these average salaries are only going to increase with time, thus attracting many more to the field of teaching. .
With increased salaries, personal gratification, and enjoyable benefits being a teacher's main attractant, job security should be at the top of this list as well.
