THink what either to be an art teacher

Woah, simul-posts!

I've had one URL removed from a conversation, but apart from that my h2g2 slate is clean. I always was a bit of a do-gooder

just follow your heart what you really want to do. as i've probably told u i've had numerous careers and i most regret not taking up a technical job when i was offered the opportrunity was presented

Well said, Owly

*owly bows and takes in the applause*

andy

I just dont want to end up in a job I hate...

I love art (well most of the time) and I love working with people and I'd really love to actually help people improve their artistic talent rather than get ignored and not helped a jot like those b******s up in my high school art department.

They give no encouragemnet or help and it's not helping anyone.

And I think I'd be a good teacher

well you dont know if your going to hate it until u actually do it . i hate my job but it pays the bills until my hopefully dream job comes through*fingers crossed*


andy

One of my greatest fears is ending up in a job that i hate. But hey, Radiohead's 'No Surprises' is a song that I played 20 minutes ago

Being a teacher is a worthy profession, especially if you teach art. Teaching kids because of your own passion for art sounds like a great job

(8)Such a pretty house and such a pretty girl...

It just seems like a good career for me...I want to help inspire and help people my age now to be confused and ultimately terrified of the prospect of going to art school, never beng able to do what they see there and never getting a job, because that's how I feel.

The art department up the road has done anything but inspire me...in fact I think it's drained me of any inspiration I previously had!

but there must still be a flash of inspiration as you seem to be talking about it sooooooooooooooo passionately you would probably make a great teacher!!

andy

My hearts just not in it anymore...and I don't want other students to be so disheartened, and if I study art I can specialise ins omething like jewellery or graphic art and then go to teacher training which means I have an art career and a teaching career and thus something to fall back on.

well that is an idea i tried to get into teaching a couple of years ago there were three of us going for one post and somebody with more experience got the job!!

andy

What were you going to teach?

as i had been in catering for about 11yrs i was going as a restaurant manager with the option to work towards my teaching certificate but the job went to some italian fella !! *another lost opportunity*


andy

You'll get there

hopefully but it seems to be one knockback after another but as the saying goes dont let the b******s grind you down!!

andy

Absolutely

both

well as i've prol told u i'm part way through the recruiting for the police the written test is quite easy the pass mark is about 230 out of 330 my mark is usually 304 so i have no probs there im over 6ft i have no criminal record and neither have any of my family so i dont see the problem.i'm just waiting for them too get back to me about a questionaire i filled in then its the medical and fitness test so i'll have to start ing again

btw thanks for thesarge
