Tomorrow's Teachers

The education children and young adults receive in school helps shape their future lives, and teachers shape this education. Teachers not only provide access to intellectual knowledge, but they also foster character development and social skills. At every level of education, teachers provide the tools and the environment for their students to develop into responsible adults.

The young adults of today will be the job force of tomorrow, so choosing a career that will best fit with the needs of the changing world will be important to job satisfaction and a successful life. With the vast array of career and job options, it will also be important for young adults to understand which work will be the best match for their interests, talents, goals, and personality types.

Certain careers are expected to gain importance within the early decades of the twenty-first century. Teaching occupations are expected to grow faster than the average rate for all occupations.

Teaching is a challenging occupation, and it will probably never make you rich, but if you choose to be a teacher, you will be a part of shaping future generations.
