Noob PWNAGE

I wanna be a coach, so i know pretty much ima have to be a teacher unless i get a head coaching job.

Teachers put up with alot of crap. It's like putting up with customers while being a cashier, it prolly sucks the nuts.

And even that depends on the sport you coach and what state you are in. A lot of states REQUIRE you have a teacher certificate and teach classes to be a head coach. And, starting out, you're not likely to get a head coaching job.

One piece of advice I'll give you, that I was given by THE best professor I ever had. Don't ever figure up how much money you make per hour as a coach. It will seriously depress you.

It depends on the classes. I'm fortunate with my classes because I have small class sizes and the kids are pretty good kids, and they're bright. Plus, my class is different from a standard class, with much laxer rules. But, you get a bad class, and it's worse than customers while being a cashier, as the kids don't want to be there, and don't care what you say or do.
 
pee wee.

thats like 8-10 year olds. I wanted the 12-13 yr old kids but they wouldnt let me. Said i was too young.

Yea, i read about that somewhere, alot of states do requite a teaching certificate. I asked a coach down here in Texas, and he doesn't have one so im guessing Texas is one of those states that doesn't require. The head Basketball coach does still have to teach class, as does the head track, golf, and baseball coaches. The football coach on the other hand does not, and that is what im planning on coaching. Yea, im pretty sure starting out i won't have a head coaching job, gotta earn my way up for that. And about the money per hour, alot of me just wants to coach because i love coaching, i mean if coaching pays for a roof over my head and food on my table, im fine. I'd rather get paid little doing something that i love, then get paid a crap-load doing a job that i freakin hate.

Yea, it's good to have small classes with the gifted and talented students. I've seen those classes with the idiots and a-holes in there, ghetto as hell, no one will shut the hell up, it seems kind of useless sometimes to try to teach, gotta do it though.

That's cool. You have to start somewhere. I was just lucky enough to be asked by the new coach at my school after I graduated. I then volunteered my time with the junior high program, so I do a lot of coaching. All that combined has sort of made me the heir to the varsity job when the current coach steps down. Which I hope he doesn't do for a while, because I think he does a very good job.

Point being, you have to start somewhere, and if you seriously want to do it, jump in and go for it. It's the only way to move up.

Yeah, football in Texas is probably about the only job out there these days where you won't have to teach to have a job. Schools down there don't mind paying for a full-fledged football coach, because football is just that big. You don't find that anywhere else really.

Coaching is great. But, as an assistant to junior high basketball, head freshman coach, head JV coach, and assistant varsity coach, I made only about $3500. Suffice to say, I need more to have roof over my head.

Yeah i did this voluntarily. No one wants to do it, because the field and environment is pretty bad. It went from one of the best baseball environments in my community to one of the worse.

They asked me too do it last year when i was umpiring a game. I've been doing that for quite some time now.
 
:rolleyes:

If teaching is so easy, how come everyone doesn't do it? If teaching is so easy, why don't YOU do it?

Teachers are the most underappreciated people in this world.

I'm still at school therefore sorry but I hate every single one of you lol.
Actually 'gym' teachers are the best ones. I'll let you off :)
 
Teachers are Fucking Underrated. I get the feeling that when I finish my BA up this year that I am going to do a Teaching course next year. I just Like History and Ancient History that much. I just don't want to teach the Treaty shit that we have to deal with in New Zealand. Does anyone know if Foreign Teachers degrees/Diplomas work in the US?
 
Why do you have to hate your teachers because you're at school? That doesn't make sense.

At the moment they all annoy me because they just go on and on and on about stuff I don't care about. But when I leave I'll appreciate it lol.


No thanks. You can maybe get Will off, but it's not really my thing.

I so meant let :lmao:
