Why do Asians look down on teachers?

That must be really frustrating for you. I think there is no other more noble profession that to be an educator. You will make far more of an impact on far more people than any of them. It is true that it pays less but money is not everything, job satisfaction is far more important. Plus if you are a teacher, you can go anywhere to live. With the exception of doctors, they cannot. They have to live near their specialized jobs. You should do what you want. My Asian neighbors lost their home because he lost his high paying job and could not find another. If he was a teacher, they would still have their home.

They're pretty much right. Teachers get paid slightly more than scraps and are undervalued. Unless you plan on being a principal or one of those important teachers that gets paid a lot then don't do it. Alternatively you can have a career and still teach. I have met people that work during in their industry but teach afternoon and night classes at a community college. Maybe that would be something you would be interested in. If say you had a phd in engineering you could alternate between teaching and working in industry.

its not looking down, more like the parents are ambitious for u.

being a doctor or engineer is better than a teacher. do u want to teach ignorant kids who thinks they are cool by back chatting?

if u want to be a teacher then go ahead, i recommend a private tutor, private school or university.

all of them?

every time?

are you sure about that?
