What You'll Do: High school teachers are primarily responsible for creating lesson plans to teach their students. They usually have to abide by a specific school curriculum, but all other aspects of their teaching style is generally up to them.

Teaching requires regular homework and testing to find out if students are really learning and understanding the material. Written exams are commonly given after every unit of study, and foreign language classes may administer oral exams as well. Giving students individual and group projects also helps them to apply their knowledge.

After handing out all these assignments and tests, you will have to spend a good deal of time grading them to stay updated on how your students are faring. Students who do poorly may receive individual attention and extra help to improve on their weaknesses. You also hold meetings with parents so that you can update them on their children's progress and plan for additional help if it is needed. Some secondary school teachers exclusively specialize in educating the mentally-challenged.

One major perks of the job is receiving the same annual breaks and two-month summer vacation that most high school students get.

Education and Training: In the United States, high school teachers must possess a bachelor's degree in teaching with a focus on secondary education. Licensure is also required in all states for teachers who are employed by a public institution. Having a master's degree is necessary for some positions, and it will offer an edge over the competition for jobs that don't demand it.

Some of the training that teachers undergo include taking public speaking and communication classes, child psychology classes, courses on the subject that they plan on teaching, and supervised teaching experiences.

The Future: The High School Teaching profession is expected to grow at about 7% through 2020. That's slower than the average for all occupations, though job growth will vary by region and should be better in the South and West, as well as urban and rural settings (as opposed to suburban districts).

The Pay: The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reports a median annual wage of $54,200 for 2011, with those in the top 10% earning more than $83,000.
