re: working conditions, both of you seem to simplify the other side. Most teachers are always busy and have to prepare classes and deal with parents and do not charge per hour … But many other professionals spend too many hours and have to deal with unruly people and are devoting evening hours, although may be not as unruly as children. The biggest teaching perk, of course, is not just reduced or free tuition, or shorter hours, but an opportunity to lead meaningful/Torah life during working hours. When a builder have a problem, he calls a plumber. When a teacher – he calls his Rosh Yeshiva and enjoys a discussion. In the working world, too many people treat their workday as just wasted time in compensation for money and see no mitzvos and growth opportunity there.
