 You could always follow me into teaching! That's all I did with my History degree.  i don't have the patience to teach - i really admire the people that have the skills and character to do it  academia would be nice....but then you're just stuck in books forever......it would be nice to have a bit of an exciting job for a bit......journalism, management.....something that everybody else wants to get into!! |

Tell your Mum I completely agree with her and that Retirement is so much better.  |

My dad's a teacher too but at a school with students from all over the world. They don't speak a word of Dutch. It's his worst nightmare, those students are real terrors, they always have a knife in their pocket... So I guess you could say that at my school, the students are angels compared to those.  Thank you for retirement!!! |

I thought about teaching but then i decided against it. I teach swimming 3-8 year olds and i love it. I don't think i could handle teaching moody teenagers but to be a primary school teacher i would have to teach English and i suck at it!! I'm hoping to go into Medical Research when im done at uni. I fancied something different!!!

What do you mean??? Maths is cool!! believe me!! I bet you think my class is full of maths geeks with glasses and a calculator permently attatched to their hands!! You would be wrong....SO wrong!! We're just a normal group of teenagers who just happen to enjoy the challenge that maths brings.

I think people are either good at Maths or good at English. I am yet to meet someone who is good at both!!

Maths is the subject I'm best at at school. Trouble is though being in top set for Maths means top set for Sciences too and I'm not brilliant at those!
