How old were you when you started teaching? (1 question survey)

I'm a middle school teacher looking for some data regarding the ages that teachers began teaching.

I'm going to use the data for my website. I don't want to post the article or else it will probably get blocked or flagged.
If it's okay for me to post the article please let me know so. Appreciate this!

THE QUESTION: How old were you when you started teaching?

 

I was 51.

 

Polls are just fine. That's why we have them!

I was 33 when I started subbing and 36 when I got my first full-time position.

 

Another interesting question might be how long did you teach? Is there an association between how old you were when you started and how long you stuck to it?

So many possibilities.

 

Thanks, I didn't want it to be considered "spamming". Im using the data for an article I published. Science teacher here so I want to add some real data to the article.

 

That would be interesting to see. Maybe the next poll. This data I need for an article I wrote about how young teachers are when they start teaching.

 

Nice and young, the best teachers!

 

I started teaching at 20, retired at 65.

 

38 for me.

 

Started at 41, after a career change.

 

34 when I started teaching

 

21 when I started, 23 when I stopped.

 

That's pretty much me too. I was 45 in 2011 when I started as a para. Went back to school f/t in 2012. Earned my license in 2014. Was sub 14-15 year. Got my own classroom in 2015-16 school year and have been in the same district since. BEST JOB EVER!

 

Started at 22.
Retiring at 51.

 

I started at 23 and retired after 30 yrs.

 

I started at 35.

 

And still at it at 64!

 

I was 22. I'm 11 years in now.

 

It won’t let me vote but I was 22

 

I was 22. A week after college graduation I started subbing then teaching the next year.

 

29 and 5 years in.

 

Interesting that so many here came in later. How representative is this forum I wonder?
