I'm going to go with the teacher, the almost always make a lot less and have to put up with a lot more to make a connection and help people. While a nurse might see someone for only a few hours or days.
What are your thoughts?

Teachers are no longer underpaid?

I'm not sure noble is the correct term. Teachers are no longer the underpaid maiden ladies of Little House on the Prairie days. and nurses, registered nurses, do highly specialized work, and essentially get paid quite poorly and are force to work extra hours due to shortages. A nurse doesn't just see someone for only a few hours, she has many patients on a floor and enough paperwork to choke a horse. I've been to high school, and I've spend a good deal of time in a hospital, and my vote goes to nurses, both practical and registered, every time.
I live on the east coast and our high school teachers get paid between 42-63 thousand a year. The average wage here for a full time worker is 29 thousand a year, the average household consists of two workers, one full and one part time for a houshold income of 36 thousand. So, at least here no, they aren't underpaid.

Well, if I were very ill and the nurse discovered the reason for my illness, then I would say the nurse is the more noble profession. On the other hand, if I were trying to get my degree or GED, and my teacher was the only person who was able to instruct me in the ways of writing an effective essay so I could graduate, then I would say the teacher is the more noble profession. In other words, it depends upon your standpoint as to what your answer will be at any given point in your life.

Both, but in different ways. I think physically, a nurse has to work harder. Nurses work long hours a lot of the time, and they have to put up with idiots that come in, too. Teachers also have to deal with some idiots, but it's their job to shape the idiots' lives. They also get a lot of crap for not doing their jobs well when it's the district or the state's fault, and I think a lot of people don't realize how hard their jobs are. My parents are teachers, if you couldn't tell.

Keep in mind that teachers will be the ones turning out the next generation of nurses.
I say teacher because you'll have the chance to help change America by being a great one!
Good luck to you!

I'm with you - teacher. Good teachers are of great value to young individuals in their growing years. Almost always, someone remembers a neat teacher they had in school.
