I have always aspired to a career in teaching as it is thought to be rewarding. By helping children in overcoming the problems that they face, it can let you see the positive outcome and improve your feeling of self-worth. Giving children the support they need, regardless of what is going on in their life out of school can make a big difference in shaping their future.

Doing a degree in teaching has many benefits but one of the biggest benefits for me is that it gives you the opportunity to work in other countries all over the world. As teaching is a transferable skill it lets you explore other cultures and how they teach, which is something I am interested in and would love to experience.

Although when you begin to teach you will have graduated and be qualified, your job will still give you the opportunity to learn and develop new skills through practice. You can carry these skills further if you ever have a career change. Having a job in teaching, I think, would be interesting as no two days would be the same, even though you would be teaching the same course you would be working with different children meaning it would give you a different experience each time.
