In the past two years of my college life, I have never ceased to think what kind of work I shall take up upon graduation. Although my ideas are not consistent, I have now decided on a college teacher as my lifelong career.
A variety of factors have led me to choose this occupation over other more lucrative ones. To begin with, teaching means freedom and independence. As a teacher, I am free to use my own ideas and make my own decisions, a privilege not everyone can have, even those with highly-paid positions. More importantly, I like teaching in that it offers a certain peace of mind. No more rushing to catch a morning bus, no more anxiety to please a boss, no more worries about your paycheck which is steady, if not handsome.
Nothing, not even a big salary, can equal the satisfaction of being your own boss and a gentle peace of life.
在过去两年的大学生活中，我一刻也没有停止过思考：我大学毕业以后要从事什么样的工作。尽管我的想法很多，但我现在已经决定，我的终身职业将是做一名大学教师。
我选择当老师而不是其他薪水更为丰厚的职业，其中缘由有很多。首先，当老师意味着自由和独立。作为一名教师，我可以自由地运用自己的想法和做决定，而这种特权并不是每个人都可以拥有的，即使是那些身处高薪职位的人。更重要的是，我喜欢当老师，是因为这项工作可以给人的内心一定程度上的安宁。我无须每天早上去赶公共汽车，无须为取悦老板而焦虑不安，无须担心自己的薪水，虽然不是那么丰厚，但却十分稳定。
没有任何东西可以抵得上自己做主人的满足感和平静安宁的生活，即使是高工资也无法做到这一点。
