ok, you've gone off into a long digr. but, isn't teaching the same thing repeatedly year after year boring? i've never been a teacher before, not even part-time. but i have done and still do science workshops for kids and that's totally different cos it's only fun activities and interesting facts. not mundane teaching like a school teacher!

And I think Amousk, temples now and then, reinforces spirituality which I think all human beings need. It is not something you can maintain doing alone for long periods.

I agree its our rote & write education system tat has made this job mundane.....:(
Also the lack of motivation for this job bcos of factors like low pay etc....but wen I was teaching, I found it more fun to interact w/ differnt students from differnt backgrounds than keep in mind tat I'd be teaching the same thing again & again for each batch.....even at school we had many teachers who used to be lively & at times discuss many things other than the subjects they taught....so I feel its the interaction tat makes it go lively, as opposed to most office jobs & dont even talk abt customer service ones, wher almost the only interaction u hav comes in the form of complaints & frustrations.....:roll: added to tat, u hav to work for longer hours in most of these....!

Neways, been up for too long now.....signing off b4 my head hits the monitor! :lol: :wave:

When we talk of respectable profession I think we refer to those professions traditionally respected. What is a respectable profession these days? When it comes to medical, you find he doctors are failing to support the patients, as they should when legal issues arise. They do all they can to prevent having to go to court. They only care for the patient up to a certain point. The reports they provide on patients are often not truly reflective of the patients' records.

When it comes to the teaching profession, tell me about it. I have seen lecturers slopping together bits of notes just before the lecture, no effort to get new materials on current issues etc. and just give you straight from the book which you can read yourself in your own time :wink: . In many places it's a regurgitation of the same material. It's common in places where research is limited, common in countries developing at a slow rate if developing at all. Thus, the quality of teaching is poor and it takes no big brain, hard work and dedication to get through exams. The questions are likely to be the same year after year, only asked in a different way. Notes of pass students can be easly obtained and there you go, become what you want, no real sweat :evil: .

As a mater of fact, certain counties live off reputation and when examined closely, the reputation is far from present day realities in maintaining reputation. No changes to meet them.

We all can't be in the same profession, we need a variety. We chose according to what we thing we will be good at and our aptitude and we are supposed to do our best at what we do. If one study how each profession evolved, one would know that they are all meant to be reputable, but in reality, most are not and it's not an individual issue.

I know of people who started off at medical school, drop out, then hop to law school and that kind of thing. Did they first enter medicine because they think it is a reputable profession and was that their only concern? If so why the hop? :wink:

shud be like simba :D

You can be both; religious and do good at the same time. They are found to be complimentary. Being religious don't mean going to temple all the time. I find it necessary to go (not necessarily frequently) and meditate with a group which is more effective than doing it alone.

The Gita clearly says, if one has to work and can't make it to places of meditation, the reason of work, is acceptible. If you are not working or can't make it to places of mediation/temples, you can listen to God's word; listening to bhajans is an acceptible compromise.

Good Sense: I am not sure if I made myself clear. I have nothing against religion and I didn't say that a religious person is not good, all I said was a person who is not religious is no bad. And I do think relgion is a very private thing and each person can be religious in their own way, and there is nothing wrong in it. I was just telling Arthi to have a open mind about it, that is all :)

Fire: Teaching is not at all boring. The teachers I had in school used to love teaching. Each year a new set of students, a new challenge :) A good teacher uses his/her skills to take up the challenge of teaching the students from the best to the worst. They have to get the attention of the most inattentive student in the class, but at the same time keep the class interesting for the most brainy! Imagine catering to 30+ students of varying interests and concentration levels at the same time. How can that be boring? If a teacher does their job right then there is no boredom in that :)

Anoushka: Besides, it makes you feel young ! :lol:
