in secondary education<\/a>\u00a0have been a back-to-school refrain for several years, primary education, except in the Paris region, seems less affected.\u00a0The masters in teaching, education and

becoming school teachers, also welcome professionals\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/journals.openedition.org\/rechercheformation\/4977\">in retraining<\/a>\u00a0.<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes people even become\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/theconversation.com\/fr\/topics\/enseignants-24310\">teachers<\/a>\u00a0, after having held another job, having experienced much more remunerative jobs, as shown by research on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/calenda.org\/996040?lang=pt\">atypical careers<\/a>\u00a0.\u00a0Becoming a teacher can in some cases mean accepting a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/shs.hal.science\/halshs-03928177\">social downgrade<\/a>\u00a0.<\/p>\n<p>Let us focus on the choices of these teachers who arrive late in the profession.\u00a0What are the conditions that allow them?\u00a0How do these retrained teachers who held positions of responsibility experience their new professional condition?\u00a0Through these questions, it is also a question of shedding light on certain modalities of engagement in national education.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>The feeling of \u201cmissing out\u201d on your life<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Let&#8217;s take the case of Romain, who clearly illustrates the situation of these very good students whose orientation was not really thought out: \u201cI was told that I could do a prep school, then a school.\u00a0[\u2026] The idea was that an engineer was better than a teacher.\u00a0And, in fact, it was better paid.\u201d\u00a0Arriving at a position as sales director in a petrochemical products company, he received a \u201cfantastic salary\u201d.\u00a0\u201cBut I said to myself: \u201cApart from the salary, do I still want to stay there?\u201d, he says.<\/p>\n<p>Same speech from Ludovic, who became a teacher after 15 years as a director in a pharmaceutical company:<br \/>\n<em>\u201cI did well at school, I had a rather scientific profile, I took preparatory classes, then engineering school.\u00a0It was something quite logical, I never stopped to think about what I really wanted to do.\u00a0\u00bb<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Both were overtaken by the feeling of \u201cmissing out on their lives\u201d, as Ludovic will tell us, and it was after having proven themselves in a first profession that teaching appeared as a reconversion. possible.\u00a0Tempted by this path during their studies, they did not allow themselves to go there, finding this profession too undervalued and paid.<\/p>\n<p>Today a CM2 teacher in a REP school, after 18 years as a technical controller in the building, where she managed a team of five men, Christelle recognizes that teaching \u201cwas already an option\u201d when she was young, but that his parents and teachers told him \u201cnot to stop at that\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Thus, for all our respondents, the teaching profession does not appear to be a sufficiently legitimate career path after leaving high school, because they are very good students, or because they feel invested in the family responsibility to pursue university studies when they are the only sibling to pursue higher education, or they enroll in a sibling where studying is the norm.<\/p>\n<p>But, when taking stock of their commitment to their first profession, the teaching condition is re-evaluated in light of the constraints felt until then.\u00a0Myriam talks about the desire to break away from \u201cthe frantic race for turnover\u201d: \u201cI worked as an engineer for 20 years and then after a while, the human aspect of my personality came to me. remember that it was nice to do calculations and technical things but that I needed to find a relationship with others, to exchange things.\u201d<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Loss of salary but recognized level of education<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Among our respondents, one of the conditions of possibility for engaging in a teaching career is the fact of having previously succeeded professionally in a first career, of having in some way already proven themselves.\u00a0B\u00e9n\u00e9dicte states this quite explicitly:<br \/>\n<em>\u201cSomehow, I am happy to have been able to say that one day, I earned a better living than my partner.\u00a0It&#8217;s something that was important to me, and I think that if I hadn&#8217;t experienced that, I wouldn&#8217;t have been able to make this choice to become a teacher, I would have missed it as a woman, to prove that I am worth better than a man, finally as a monetary salary value!\u00a0\u00bb<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Fabrice, biomedical engineer in a large company before his retraining, assumes:<br \/>\n<em>\u201cBasically, I had nothing left to prove in my field and I wanted a job that would allow me to reconcile professional and family life \u2013 that&#8217;s the real reason.\u00a0\u00bb<\/em><\/p>\n<p>If this reconversion is the result of a quest for meaning and values, this profession also offers a certain number of characteristics supporting reconversion.\u00a0Loss of salary can be justified for oneself, but also claimed for others in the name of decreasing values \u200b\u200blike Romain, who claims \u201cconvictions in relation to ecology, the environment and even degrowth.\u00a0What&#8217;s the point of having a 50,000 euro car if I have a 3,000 euro car that does the job perfectly?\u00a0\u00bb, he remarks.<\/p>\n<p>Becoming a teacher certainly means dividing your salary by two or three but does not lead to losing your level of education.\u00a0As Romain explains, \u201cwhat made this retraining easier, I think, is also that you need a bac +5 to be a school teacher\u201d.\u00a0Even if he earns less than as an engineer, his bac +5 remains recognized.\u201d\u00a0Note that\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.lemonde.fr\/societe\/article\/2023\/09\/01\/emmanuel-macron-veut-une-formation-des-l-apres-bac-pour-les-enseignants_6187438_3224.html\">President Macron&#8217;s recent declarations<\/a>\u00a0wanting teacher competitions recruiting at bac+3 go against the motivations displayed here.<\/p>\n<p>However, the stories of our respondents show that their retraining is not self-evident for those around them.\u00a0\u201cIt was unimaginable, it was madness\u201d: these are the words in which Romain describes his colleagues&#8217; reception of the announcement of his retraining.\u00a0This \u201cmadness\u201d relates in particular to the deliberately downward slope of his career, \u201ceven though on the management side, all the lights were green\u201d since they wanted to offer him responsibility for a new geographical sector in addition to those already managed.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Justify your career change to those around you<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>To rehabilitate their choice of this profession, these teachers must demonstrate that they are not coming into it for the wrong reasons.\u00a0They must justify a choice which appears improbable and, consequently, relatively misunderstood or even perceived with suspicion.\u00a0As Christelle explains: \u201cI divided my salary approximately by three.\u00a0There is a form of incomprehension: why did she come?\u00a0What is she looking for in education?\u00a0Who does she think she is?\u00a0\u00bb Many of our respondents reported such questions.<\/p>\n<p>A first solution consists of romanticizing his vocation for teaching.\u00a0Taking it back to childhood, showcasing the training experiences accumulated during his studies, or even within his first profession.\u00a0Way to justify that we come to teaching with a little experience and above all a solid appetite.<\/p>\n<p>Our respondents also do not hesitate to value all their other professional experiences as tools for their teaching.\u00a0Sabine \u201chad to set the record straight\u201d from her own mother who had \u201ca little difficulty digesting because she had paid for me to study in Paris, and I am doing something completely different\u2026 I told her that what I had learned was not lost, that I used it every day and would not be the same teacher if I had not done what I did in terms of studies!\u00a0\u00bb<\/p>\n<p>Our respondents make their late entry into the profession an added value that sets them apart from other teachers.\u00a0By promoting their experiences from the company in class, our respondents question the definition of the profession.\u00a0B\u00e9n\u00e9dicte told her daughters not to become school teachers at the age of 22: \u201cYou have to look elsewhere first, it\u2019s not good to never leave school.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The promotion of teachers who have had other experiences appears as a means of promoting their retraining journey to make it a factor of legitimacy.\u00a0Being a parent is also used as a foil.\u00a0They thus aspire to the recognition that they did not \u201cstart from nothing\u201d, as Coralie notes: \u201cThe fact of having different human experiences is also an asset compared to relationships with parents sometimes\u201d which can be claimed from children.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Author Bio:<\/strong> Fr\u00e9d\u00e9rique Giraud is
