"Compared to other industry professionals, teachers are not compensated as their academic degree and certifications would imply." Why do you want to teach in our school? What reasons should I hire you over a recent college education major? This was a question posed to a candidate during a panel interview by my principal. The candidate was a career changer. Was this a fair question to ask of someone who has gone through the process of becoming highly qualified to teach? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I believe it is a fair question because the character of a person is a very important aspect in all fields. Most individuals are asked this to see if the person is truly passionate because money is not everything and will not assist with hardships in this field.
