Definitely a teacher, they do more for our future.
Teacher. Far more important for society, even if it means a much less secure life.

Pronouns: Who/Cares
The teachers have one of the strongest unions in North America.
Strong job security and an awesome pension..........This is easy.

Of course. Parents tend to vote in SB elections while many others don't bother. At least with this last go round mail in voting didn't change that dynamic much. This may be due to the fact that opponents to coddled kids and mainly uncontrolled spending weren't even bothering to run. There is a filing fee...
Teacher, cop, healthcare worker of any kind, sports coach, bus driver, electrician...
I have 2 kids. 2 boys. And I am already telling them if they are like me avoid any job where you are stuck in front of a computer all day every working day because IT GETS FUCKING BORING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Luckily for me I made enough to be able to work only part time now because there is no way I could go back at 45-50 hours/week managing projects and stupid people

I would advise my child (if I had one) to be neither. They're both shitty jobs that will only get shittier (i can speak from a bit of experience here from a while back).

Teachers have it so easy compared to Cops. They make almost as much, no shift work, weekends off, 11 paid sick days a year, summers off, time off at Christmas and March break and get an awesome pension.
On the other hand, Cops have to deal with death and destruction, life an death situations, violent people, drug addicts, people with mental issues, psychotic individuals, people with weapons, shift work, long hours and having to deal with just about everyone hating you. Until of course you need them.
There is no shortage of applicants for teaching jobs. When I lived in Montreal there were so many applicants that the overflow ended up selling real estate while waiting for a teaching job to open up.
The question was, So, would you advise your kid to be a teacher or a cop?
Becoming a teacher is a choice gig. Which is why so many apply to be one.
If you are in southern Ontario and planning to enter the process of being a teacher ,I have the following advice as a teacher, unless you are a French or math teacher then plan on employment as a substitute (that is even if you can get hired by a board) for around 6 to 7 years. The other options are to go to northern Ontario, Native reserves, Nunavut or overseas to get some experience and then come back. The latter is what I did, got to see some awesome places (Latin America especially) meet some awesome people, (if you are a single man, confident and have the local language down to some level, Latin America is heaven on earth)
I absolutely love my job, but it isnt the sunshine and lollipops the neocons here would have you believe.
