What’s my job? I’m a teacher. Based on macro trends seen today, business , education, entertainment, services fields and health care jobs were few of the jobs which were listed to be relatively high demand throughout the next 10 years.
Almost all jobs, no matter how secure, will experience ups and downs due to the economy and unexpected changes in technology. Thus there is no guarantee.
The key to survival and winning in the career game is to be the best at what you do. Even in tough times, the people who have a reputation for being the best in their field will do better than most.
The key to being the best in your field is to do the type of work that you are truly passionate about which is teaching for me. Aside from that, being a teacher means that I could work the same number of hours my children are at school. Once my kids are home, I too can join them. Plus the Christmas holidays and the summer vacations can be spent in the company of my children. Salary wise too teaching jobs are better than many other part-time jobs which a woman might be considering. If my children study in the same school in which I teach, they’ll get financial breaks on their fees.
