Joining the Army

[KennyR]

I'd never consider it myself. It would be the last career I'd ever consider. Not getting to choose my own food, being ordered around and insulted, being sent off to any distant part of the country (or someone else's!) on short notice, and having to mix with people I'd hate. Not to mention the fact that you could actually get, like, dead and stuff.

Use your head, Teach.

I'm currently completing my PGCE at the moment, and I can honestly tell you that teaching is the most rewarding job I have ever done, except parenting that is!

That's the second most unlikely job I'd do. There's no way I'd put up with the abuse from the average classroom. Actually the military might be better, because they at least have a modicum of respect for you. There aren't enough teachers because they're leaving after the first couple of years of systematic verbal, emotional, and even physical abuse, and with the system protecting the abusers rather than the victims.
