    If you have an in demand subject and want to teach then go for it and I hope you can make it work. But I advise caution in jumping in thinking it's going to be an easy fix for your long hours and childcare issues in your current career. If it was so wonderful compared to the alternative options for people with these subject degrees then we most likely wouldn't have the shortage in the first place.

    I still have to pay for the childcare during the summer or else I'd loose the place in September.
    Same with other teacher holidays.
    primary school childminding is a little bit better though but that's cos we lucked out with a good childminder wholl factor out the holidays.

    I was drained by teaching in Ireland. Small things like website subscriptions and access to IT facilities make all the difference to my teaching.

    Is Prezi really that powerful?
