I didn't choose my profession, I was chosen for it (priests are called by God). But if that hadn't happened and I could go back and select a different career path, I would like to be a professor of Latin and Classical literature. Or if not professor, then a school teacher of Latin. It is a matter of profound sadness to me that the glorious language is being taught less and less in our public schools.

School time is limited, so you have to ask yourself what skills do you want to invest your youth in?
I don't think that teaching a dead language brings any benefit to a general school child. The place for learning Latin is at University-level, in relevant fields.
Its better to teach kids modern languages, particularly French and Spanish. A much more useful skill to teach a child.
