Teaching as a profession

Ask a new Engg passout ...are u interested in teaching ? He/she will say they will do it only if that's the last option.Well,to be frank,I never imagined I wud be a lecturer ...All I wanted was to earn lots and lots of money.Even though I was a lecturer for some time ,the lure of money made me leave teaching and join software.I was earning a lot there but the thrill of guiding students, the joy on their faces when u help them...all these were missing ...So, I decided to leave S/w and joined teaching...And,now here I am...I am thoroughly enjoying my experience :-)
