1. [+2,100, -160] But... I'm a week into preparing for my teacher certification exam.....

2. [+1,706, -249] Sucks for education majors...

3. [+1,440, -57] Instead of looking things up like this, it'd be a lot more efficient for you to look into what you really want to do, what's best fit for your personality, etc. There's a reason you're counseled on what you want to be when you grown up since elementary school.

4. [+377, -17] My friend is a bus driver.. and he often gets questions on why someone so young is driving buses, especially by ajummas.. but it's something he likes to do and I think Korea's the only country where you get looked down on for having a job like that even if it's something you want

5. [+269, -23] I think in the future, it won't be your career that determines whether you're rich but what you own in actual wealth. You can be unemployed but be rich in real estate, land, buildings, etc. People study hard to become teachers, public servants, and get into big companies but you're all basically a slave to the system.

6. [+198, -7] I feel bad for kids these days ㅜㅜ They have to study way more than we did as kids with no time to play and then still have to deal with worsened unemployment rates, higher taxes... It's a world indeed more comfortable to live in but that doesn't mean it's a better place ㅜㅜ

7. [+180, -2] I understand there being a lesser need for teachers since we have such dismal birth rates which means less students entering school...

8. [+73, -5] I bet the medical field will never see a decrease since people are getting lazier and lazier and eating more fast food. The digital age is creating sick people..
