"i don't want my kids to be teachers"...wtf?

i keep hearing people, especially teachers, say, "my kids are NOT going to be teachers...the pay sucks."  my mom even told me that when i decided i wanted to go into teaching.  that bothers, me, though...especially hearing it coming out of the mouths of teachers.  teaching is NOT about the money.  do i wish we made more money so that we could buy a house?  yes.  would i change my profession because of that?  hell no.  to me, if you don't love what you're doing as a teacher, then get the f*** out cuz you're just doing a disservice to the kids.  yea, there's lots of stuff coming down in the doe that i don't necessarily like or agree with...but bottom line is, i love working with my kids so i'm gonna keep working with my kids.  yea, i don't technically get paid beyond my work day, so does that mean i'm not going to do more just cuz i'm not getting paid?  hell no.  since i've had kids i've set certain limits for myself and leave school way earlier than i used to when i was single, and i definitely  spend less time out of school doing work for school, but if something needs to be done or if the kids/my team needs something, i'm going to find a way to do it.  i won't force my kids to be teachers, but i hope that by the example of dave and me, they'll have hearts to help, regardless of if they're going to get a fat paycheck or not.  and i hope they learn not to be excuse-making lazy asses and to do the work, even when it's hard or inconvenient, if it means helping someone else who may not have the opportunities/home-life/comforts that they are lucky to have.
