You mention an important topic. For me, it is not difficult to answer. I chose a carrier in education because I think it is important to teach our young ones and I loved history. It doesn't pay that much, but enough to lead a normal life. Furthermore, the hours are not bad, so I could be with my children a lot. I did it with much joy for 40 years, the last 15 years as a Principal. I think you have to choose a job where your heart lies. People work for 40 years or so, and it is important to have a job were you can develop yourself and be happy.
