Good News

for Teachers

Which jobs are the most boring? Which are the least boring? Here is some good news for teachers.

These are the results of a poll for the Training and Development Agency for School on 2113 graduates aged 21 to 45.

Boredom Rating for Graduates (out of 10):

Administrative/Secretarial jobs – 10 Manufacturing jobs – 8.1

Sales jobs – 7.8 Marketing/Advertising – 7.7 IT/Telecommunications – 7.5

Science Research& Development – 7.3 Media – 7.1

Law – 6.9 Banking/Finance – 6.6 Human Resources – 6.6 Accountance – 5.3 Hospitality/Travel – 5.3 Healthcare – 5.1 Teaching – 4.0

This survey was commissioned by a teaching agency and it easily proved that teachers were the least bored. What makes our profession so exciting? 81 percent of teachers questioned said it is the challenge of the role. 81% said ‘because no two days are the same’ and there is always something happening. 86% said they enjoyed the interaction with people. 64% also rate the opportunity to use their creativity.

Here are some other advantages: no two students are the same and you will never stop wondering at the variety of human nature and unpredictability of students’ reaction. If you teach a foreign language you’ll have to learn all the time, which is a great pleasure. ‘And gladly would he learn, and gladly teach’ – Chaucer says about a Clerk from Oxenford. If you enjoy reading, it will be an opportunity for you to read and reread stories and authors of your choice. If you are good at playing games, there will be plenty of chances to do it in class and share the joy with your students. Another one. Dealing with young people, looking at their ‘shining morning faces’, you’ll never fail to feel optimistic.

Russian teachers surely also appreciate long summer holidays.

Employees surveyed said they are mainly bored because of the lack of challenge in their jobs (61%), not using their skills or their knowledge (60%) and doing the same things every day (50%).

Some people are different. A clerk in a post office is asked what she has to do in her work. “I stamp envelopes with a date,’ – she says. “Is that all? It must be exceedingly boring!” – “Oh no, – the clerk protests, – every day brings a new date!”

NEWS IN BRIEF

TEENAGERS’ ‘MISMATCHED’

JOB AMBITIONS

There is a “massive mismatch” between young people’s career expectations and the reality of the jobs available, a major survey of teenagers suggests.

It highlights the need for better careers advice, says Nick Chambers, director of the Education and Employers Taskforce, which published the survey. The study also indicates teenagers have a very weak understanding of potential earnings for different types of jobs.

There is a serious “information gap” for teenagers, says Mr. Chambers.

Confederation of British Industry president Sir Roger Carr said the report showed industry had to do more to show young people the “requirements and opportunities” of the world of work.

The study, based on a survey of 11,000 13to 16-year- olds, is an attempt to map the job ambitions of teenagers against the employment market up to 2020. It shows teenagers have a weak grasp of the availability of jobs – and that large numbers will be aiming for jobs that are in short supply.

For instance, there are 10 times as many people aiming for jobs in the culture, media and sports sector than there are jobs likely to be available.

And even though almost a quarter of jobs are in the distribution, hotels and restaurant category, only about one in 40 youngsters are considering careers in these industries.

Fewer than one in 30 young people are considering jobs in banking and finance, even though one in five jobs are expected to be in this sector. This “misalignment” could mean long-term problems for young people, the report says, because they are making decisions about qualifications and subjects with little awareness of the jobs market ahead of them.

And the report warns it can be difficult in later years to catch up with missing qualifications. This lack of informed choices fuels the problem of employers struggling to find suitably skilled staff, even though there are high levels of youth unemployment.

The report also looks at the perceptions of young people about types of employment. Among the 10 least preferred occupations are jobs such as surveyor and speech therapist, even though they are likely to earn above-average pay. The two least preferred jobs, as identified by teenagers, are factory work and glaziers.

The most preferred employment areas, from the perspective of teenagers, include teaching, the law, the police, psychology and sport. These might be influenced either by role models such as teachers at school – or else by media images.

But the report says it suggests the narrowness of young people’s view of the types of work available – and the failure of employers to present a broader picture of opportunities.

Education and Employers Taskforce director Nick Chambers said: “As a country we are doing our young people a huge disservice if we don’t give them enough information to allow them to make proper informed decisions about their future.”

This charity has campaigned to improve the quality of careers education, highlighting the link between social mobility and access to career advice and work experience.
