I took classes which would qualify me to be a teacher. The biggest thing that scared me out of it were the unions and the fact they're not even legally questionable sometimes. I didn't want to become that. In the United States, the occupation has so much control that the head of the teachers' union is considered the most dangerous individual in the nation according to a poll/ranking. Not sure if anyone would be willing to accept that as context for my answer though.
