Pros

You can work from home. Other than that, it's pretty much down hill.

Cons

The pay. Are you serious????? The tech people make over 100,000 while the certified teachers make 24,000. Both are important, but legally you need certified teacher, so why isn't that valued? Parents, you get what you pay for!! Also, you are beholden to that darned computer every day of your life!!
