My partner went from academia and teaching at a university to doing a PGCE. He now teaches at a sixth form college and loves it. I think @ChasnotRobert covered everything - looooong days, lots of out of hours work, big classes, twatty managers. Extremely crap pay. All worth it because the kids are brilliant, apparently.

Anyone gone into secondary school teaching later in their career?
I'm looking to leave my relatively well paid cushy job in a uni to go into teaching because I think kids are ace and people need to do more for them. Anyone done this and regretted it? Could it be worse than banal admin and management?
