How many schools have 50% make teachers? Is it because education has a rampant sexism problem? Or is it because men and women have different preferences?

- JKCalhoun 8y agoAnecdotal of course, but I have an education degree. Also learned to code. (Also, am male.) Why am I not a teacher but instead a programmer? Money. I feel, as a male, I need to be the "bread winner". Sure, that's something society has imposed on me — or perhaps I allowed to impose on me. But there you are. If other men feel as I do, they may be drawn away from the notoriously underpaid field of education. Too bad. If money were not in the equation, I am fairly sure I would have found more personal satisfaction from that career than the one I chose.
