Hello,

Teaching is a great field to get into. My advice would be for you to do a lot of reading and as a future educator make the experience vivacious and your own so your students will be intrigued. Try and not worry about the financial part the reward is what you should have your eye on which is making a difference in ll. Teachers are getting paid a lot more these days so try and keep that in mind. I thought after school or weekend tutoring jobs may bring some extra income. Best of luck on your journey!
