What do you do? I'm a senior school chemistry teacher

How long have you been doing it? About to start next month!

How did you get into it? Teaching had been on the cards since I was little, I just never wanted to go school-uni-school as I figured I wanted to really appreciate my summer holiday, have some life experience and not be under 5 years older than my students. So I did a bachelor's degree, then did some more study in the subject I wanted to teach, then finally a post-grad education course.

Do you enjoy it? I really hope so! I enjoyed the training and I am going to work at a really gorgeous school.

If you could do any job in the world would you still do it? If I had to work, this is what I'd pick to do (ask me again in 10 years!). Ideally I'd be a SAHM and maybe homeschool, especially as I don't think formal education should start until about 7 and am not looking forwards to Liebs being a problem in the classroom for someone else as he isn't ready for school yet.
