Should I give up my dream of becoming a teacher

Nice to meet you. It's called the monk's hearing method.
He is currently a graduate student and wants to be a teacher. Hope is expected, isn't it?
As I wrote in my profile, I've been a teacher for over 30 years.

As reported in newspapers and television, the job of a teacher is sometimes “black,” and it is not a job where you can return home on time, according to working hours. However, there aren't all people who can't have hobbies or can't take a day off on Saturdays and Sundays at all. Strongly speaking, it might be better to be prepared for “hard work.” Unfortunately, there were also young teachers who retired after their first year in office due to mental stress, etc.

To be honest, I don't recommend becoming a “teacher” while aiming to become a professional performer. However, it is possible to fulfill the wish that “any form is good, so I want an opportunity to perform.” In fact, there is also a “teacher band,” and if you have musical knowledge or talent, it would be possible to serve as an advisor to a brass band, etc. That's why I think there are schools that are looking for people like you.

The important thing is, why do you want to be a “teacher”? That's it. Get a job as a teacher, like “subject guidance” or “class management,” and say, “I want to do this!” If you don't have that enthusiasm, I think it will be difficult to keep going. If you're a public school teacher, you're a public servant, so your salary isn't bad, and it's stable. However, it goes without saying that it is a difficult workplace to maintain motivation on its own.

What should I do? It depends on whether you yourself can respond flexibly to the balance between “music” and “teacher work.” Is it difficult if you want to live a music-centered lifestyle? I think it would be possible to do musical activities in your spare time while focusing on work.

You only live once, so in the end, you can only make your own decisions, but now that the number of applicants to become teachers is declining, schools are waiting for young teachers with passion. Please don't give up and consider it.

I read it.
You've been diligently continuing to play music until now, and you're wondering if it will be difficult to balance becoming a teacher from now on. I don't know the details about you, but it tells me that you are worried. I understand your feelings from the bottom of my heart.
It's just my personal opinion, but music is a wonderful thing that greatly enriches our lives, so I think we can continue to do it in the long run.
I think there are changes in the extent to which you can do music depending on your age and the job and position you do, and I think your stance will be different, but please continue so that you can enjoy living every day richly with everyone.
Also, in terms of work as a teacher, I think what I learned and learned through music will surely be useful in various ways.
There may be cases where you teach music or act as an advisor for club activities to students at the school where you were assigned as a teacher, so I think it's okay to make effective use of it flexibly.
First, let's work hard for your own future.
I sincerely pray that you can firmly face what you are aiming for in your future life and live a rich and fulfilling life with all of you while enjoying it from the bottom of your heart. And I wholeheartedly support you. We wholeheartedly agree

Frankly speaking, in conclusion

Isn't it okay if you don't stop?

The message really conveys the importance of music.

Isn't that how intense it is?

It was written that any shape is fine.

Let's get involved to the extent possible.

I think it will also work positively in terms of work.

I'm rooting for you.

　Good evening. I have a feeling that this serious problem itself is aimed at educators.
I've also been in the field of education for a long time, and I'm continuing because it's interesting, but I think it's a job you can do if you think “let's pour in all the time you have.” Maybe it's not enough to keep things to a minimum about temples anymore.
However, it is also within the scope of adjustment. “Temples and education are nurturing people,” and there is no end to it. It's worth betting everything, but you can keep going without betting everything. You wouldn't be able to understand this kind of shio-plum just by looking at it from the outside. But once you go inside, or when you stand there, you can make your own judgment, “Oh, I'm pitching my best over here right now.”
Even if you think “I'll never stop playing music” right now, once you enter the world of education, “I don't care about music!” There is also a possibility that we will reach a point where we can say that.
It means “there are sights you can't see unless you stand there.” Now there are people who throw out their teaching positions in a month, let alone a year, so the social pressure to throw it out is probably not as high as it used to be.

Your current concerns will continue to be useful to your children.
“If you go to a last-minute position, you'll know if you really want to do it or not.”
