Has teaching in India become a profession by default, rather than by choice?

Teacher is a personality which is highly respective after father and mother in India but due to our weak management many candidate does not want to join this field by their wish they choose this filed when they see that all the other field is closed for them. Our teacher get less paid salary job is the first reason that they didn't want to came in this field just think One Ph.d candidate are getting 50k per month salary then how this person get motivation who has study more than 35 year and still he or she is getting the job of 50k. Second is freedom Teacher are tied from different rule by government or by institution in which they are teaching so this make demotivated that they are not free to teach in their own way. So In India due to less salary, no freedom, more work time even they work on holiday and these teacher are not allowed to teach in outside the campus as tuition bring their motivation down. Less salary and more rule make Teaching not as profession but as a choice. When our education management system of India change then candidate take teaching as a default career option.

Hello, In ancient India, teachers were put on a very high pedestal and considered very high in ranking. In fact the best minds only could join as teachers. However, over a period of time, due to change in society, its contours, its dynamics, business, etc. we are seeing decline in status of teachers over a period of time. Also, it’s a fact of life that a person would choose that profession which will give him all material comforts. Sadly, teacher's salaries did not keep pace with other professions and as a result this lagged as compared with others. Today, in India, at least, situation has become so bad that a person who has not been able to get into any profession turns to teaching. Very few persons take up this profession as a matter of choice, due to the passion. Hence to conclude, I will say that in India at least teaching profession is taken up as default last choice rather than as first choice.
