Now Who Aspires to Teach?

Roberson, Sandra D.; And Others

Educational Researcher, v12 n6 p13-21 Jun-Jul 1983

Among high school seniors, (1) most of those who aspired to teach were White females; (2) teacher aspirants were less concerned with earning good incomes than those who chose other professions; (3) job security was not an important motivation for entering teaching; and (4) teacher aspirants were intellectually less able than their classmates.
