Settle for something less…?? Really

Lee Iacocca stated, "In a completely rational society, the best of us would be teachers and the rest of us would have to settle for something less, because passing civilization along from one generation to the next ought to be the highest honor and highest responsibility anyone could have." Do you agree or disagree, and why? I have to beg to differ. Although teaching at times can be a complete honor, the paperwork and data collection has gotten out of control. Teachers are losing time to actually TEACH, which is the main reason we accepted the job in the first place. If I wanted to collect data or constantly do paperwork I would've gone into the business industry and I'd probably be making more money. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE my job and I love the kids but some of the other stuff is draining. I could be happy working in other careers but I wouldn't feel as rewarded as I do teaching. That is the best part. But I don't know that I'd completely be settling for less in another career. I can find happiness in anything I do. I loved being a graphic designer, I'd consider it again if teaching ever fell through.
