How to Find the Best Mentor-Teacher for You
Whether you’re still in school or have long graduated and are now building your empire, having someone you look up to and respect can boost your success tenfold.
Liz Elting, a billion-dollar founder and contributor for Forbes, writes that finding a mentor is crucial to building your career and future (Forbes, 2023) (1). Elting says that a mentor isn't just an advisor and teacher but also an “ally, an advocate, and even a confidante and friend.”
Finding a champion with similar values ensures you agree on career aspirations and what it takes to get there. If you aren’t aligned with those fundamental factors, you risk getting it wrong as you maneuver your way to success.
In addition, friendship is fertile ground for effective mentorship. Elting refers to the “ineffable ‘it’ factor” you share with someone who clicks. Choosing the right mentor-teacher will reward you with invaluable relationships and a fulfilling future.
Teachers Get Significantly More Vacation Time Than Most
If you want an occupation that has most summers off, then you might want to consider a teaching career.
According to a circular published by West Governers University in 2022, teachers have the nice perk of getting most of the summer off and slightly longer winter and spring breaks (2). This doesn’t deplete their salaries because of the forced holidays.
Instead, most salaried teachers have their paychecks stretched out over the entire year, meaning their pay stays the same year-round — even during mandatory time off. It’s certainly a good reason to join the noble ranks of teachers.
Family Is the Support Teachers Need
Schools have been working hard to boost the number of teachers and curb student absenteeism. However, a 2023 study by Harvard University researchers and The New Teacher Project stresses the importance of keeping parents involved (3).
When the families were actively engaged in their kids’ education and supported the teachers, the study observed a 6% increase in kids staying in school. The results clearly show that teachers shouldn’t be solely responsible for educating kids. It takes a collaborative effort from the community to keep them in school.
