Many of the NQT's seem to think they can do it 9 to 5 and enjoy the holidays & pension.
Then when evenings and weekends are taken up with planning, marking and phonecalls to parents they soon lose interest, which is how we get to a career average of 5 years and management/leadership positions for anyone who sticks it longer than 5 years.
This is true of many professions. The public/keen new entrants of it, particularly in medicine, do not appreciate the extra hours that will be worked but for which you may not be paid for.
