My legal concerns of teaching involves the financial aspect of education as a whole. The leaders of the country have correctly stressed the need for increasing the numbers of teachers to keep the United States competitive with the rest of the world. Yet, the legal concerns involving lack of money for teachers only seem to increase, which creates uncertainty for the future.
I've spent my post-college years employed in the financial sector. Questions have come to me from family members and others working in education concerning their financial future. The common question concerns the ramifications of reduction or eventual elimination of deferred compensation plans or pensions. My common answer unfortunately is, "I don't know".
Regardless of the future uncertainty of education, so many still view the profession as a very worthwhile and necessary endeavor. It is very encouraging to see so many motivated students in the classes that I am taking. Personally, I'm excited to pursue a career in which having to do something combines with the excitement of wanting to do something. I hope that the increasing legal questions that coincide with financial concerns aren't stopping others from pursuing teaching at a time when the country needs them in increasing numbers.
