I've begun to think the same thing.Troll. When you've actually been a high school teacher, then you can talk.

That a cute story and all but.... My highschool chemistry teacher was an AxxHole who told me and i quote: If I cant make it to medical its no way in hell you can. Mind you i went to an inner city public school with a 98% AA student population and a 16 ACT avg. Trust me, the stories you hear of amazing people going into teaching none of those people are coming down here.
yeah, but getting into med school doesn't mean your smart either.People who make it to medical school are not idiots....they have a general understanding of the road ahead of them
wrong. I had no ap science classes offered at my school. Everyone knew wassup on day 1 and had a huuuuuge leg up on me with all their fancy smancy ap classes. I was clueless. I had to study extra hard to make up that difference and struggle. I still made it into med school without aa (I am urm, but I don't look it and didn't declare it). it can be done. just gotta want it enough.If the average medical student parents salaries is 100k that means the average medical student went to a high school in a good neighborhood or even a private school. In that case i feel like most pre-meds have an inaccurate picture of what the average high school teacher is really like
That is not what is being discussed. One of my reasons for getting out of HS early was because of the poor administration and a handful of bad teachers. However, the majority were very hard workers who did a lot to meet their career goals. That is what we are discussing, not whether or not a lot of HS teachers are jerks or idiots or whatever you keep spouting.If the average medical student parents salaries is 100k that means the average medical student went to a high school in a good neighborhood or even a private school.

"If you throw a rock in a junk yard full of pit bulls the one that barks is the one that got hit "
Teacher requires 4.87 desires, while doctor 4.91 desires. Hope it helps.This thread stems from an argument I had with a high school biology education major.
Question: Which career path requires a person to have the most desire to help people, teaching or medicine?
wat.
I threw a blank statement into the air that didn't specifically point to anyone (the rock). The people who replied back got offended (the one pit who was hit)
Yeah I got the idea of what you were trying to say, but your analogy doesn't make any sense, literally or figuratively.
All the dogs would bark btw. 😛
I will kick it off with an argument for both sides
Teacher: teachers on average make a fraction of a physician salary while working just as hard. The only thing that can drive a person to do that is love for humanity
Physician: everybody thats comes to the doctors office wants to be helped by the doctor. It is state law that children under 17 must go to school even if they don't want to be there...
Umm...I'm sorry but I worked in one of the best high schools according to USNews and the amount of responsibility a teacher has vs. a physician is laughable. Also, a teacher is perfectly capable of finishing all their work within the school day and often can relay tasks off to graduate assistants, etc. I'm not trying to underscore their importance, I'm just saying there's no comparison in terms of responsibility even if the hours might be similar (which in many cases they're not anyways).
