What You'll Do: The job entails: exposing children to new topics that they may encounter in later schooling, developing an educational program incorporating the school curriculum, planning daily activities and special events, allocating time for students to eat and rest, meeting with parents to discuss their kids' progress and physical or mental state, and meeting with children one-on-one to help them with their weaknesses and more.

Like most preschool teachers, you'll work in a child care facility, religious institution, or public elementary school. If employed at an elementary school, your workday will usually start at 9am and end at 3pm because these are typical school hours. You'll probably work ten months out of the year with a two month summer vacation. If you work in child care, your hours can be longer and more unorthodox. Since you'll be dealing with children who may be irritable and difficult, the job can be both physically and mentally stressful.

Education and Training: Becoming a preschool teacher can either require a high school diploma and certification in early childhood education or a college degree depending on who the employer is. With a bachelor's degree, you can increase your earning potential and your chances of landing a job. During a four-year program in early childhood education, you will take courses in child development, teaching strategies and more.

Experience working in a childcare setting as a babysitter, childcare associate, or other caregiver is highly recommended.

To get certified, you must generally have a high school diploma and relevant work experience. Certification is awarded by organizations like the Council for Professional Recognition and the National Early Childhood Program Accreditation. Most states also require you to get licensed, but they may have varying requirements.

The Future: The Preschool Teaching profession is expected to grow at about 25% through 2020.

The Pay: Annual salaries for Preschool or Pre-K Teachers in the U.S. range from $17,200 to $46,800, with the average median annual wage hitting $27,100 in 2012 as per the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
