Work hard the first few years to get the lectures down and then you have to just update them. Most of them enjoyed life - not a lot of pressure and summers off. They seemed happy and they felt like they were making the world better.

These professions are cyclical in that at various points in history there are too many teachers or too few. I remember my daughter considered continuing with her education after college to get her teaching credential but at the time there was a glut of teachers and not enough jobs for them. The legal profession is another one of those careers where there are too few or too many.
