Yeah, choose a degree that an employee actually wants... so many people choose based purely on what interests them the most but then are doomed to teaching, sometimes it's better to make a compromise with interest and the potential job that follows.

I want to be an accountant.  But I don't wanna go to uni to do it.  I've been getting a full wage nonstop since I was 18, I couldn't go full time education now.

Oho. I remember this old chesnut.

1. 'Doomed to teaching' is massively unfair to all teachers - it's an amazing profession.
2. All my friends did degrees they wanted to do (history, philosophy, welsh, stage management, linguistics, materials science, music, zoology) and we've all got jobs (I think), generally outside of the areas we have degrees in...some of them, shock horror, even did a degree they wanted to do knowing that they'd teach that subject afterwards! fainting

Anyway, I'm only really picking up on this because this debate annoyed me the last time we had it Smile

I don't want to get in this argument again as it's happen before, I'm not insulting teachers and neither my parents, I'm just referring to that mass amounts of people who do particular degrees because they enjoy it thinking they can get a cool job from it but later discover that there are so few jobs available in the subject that they have no other choice other than teaching.

So sure there are people who do those degrees and have no issue with being a teacher, I'm just talking about the ones that didn't study the subject with that profession in mind and there are plenty of them.

I know, but it's a bit of a leap to make to state that just because they can't find a job in that sector they'll automatically end up in teaching, rather than transferring their skills into another area. Anyway...
