"Just a Teacher"

So... many of my colleagues are seeking career advancement.  Several teachers that I know are working on a higher degree in educational leadership. They hope to become an administrator.

Sometimes I feel a little funny because I don't necessarily have ambitions to advance my career.  I'm pretty happy in the classroom.  Often times it seems that I am supposed to want to be more than "just a teacher." But teaching is a profession career. That being said, I think everyone should continue learning and growing. 

Any other plain ol' teachers out there who are happy staying in the classroom?
