A stranger has big eyes but sees nothing.

10. Having beautiful, young children in your life Monday through Friday, but your evenings and weekends are free.

Love this list - especially #1, 4, and 3. After being in the field over 30 years it is nice to see a very realistic list!

I've made some additions to your list:
10. Having beautiful, young children in your life Monday through Friday, but your evenings and weekends are free. (Unless you are also a parent...but then you get the benefit of being able to see your child whenever you want during the day, too.)
9. The first to know the current children's fever/cold/flu symptoms. (Also, getting to view all the most exciting BMs that freak the teachers out).
8. Your ECE administrative abilities include junior plumbing skills — i.e. you've never met a toilet you couldn't unclog. (And don't forget web design, construction, graphic design, painting, network administration, and being a licensed food safety manager).
7. Having at your ready a repertoire that includes over 100 children's stories, songs, and finger plays.
6. Experience in setting-up and hosting staff 'wedding,' 'baby,' and 'good-bye' parties. (Except now we'll delegate that to Ms. Katelyn because she's so much better at it).
5. When insomnia strikes, you alone can recite pages of state licensing regs until you nod off from sheer boredom.
4. If you live near your work, you'll know the future generations of school cheerleaders, newspaper deliverers, Girl Scout cookie sellers, drug store and fast-food cashiers, etc. (Or, you know, doctors and lawyers since our kids are going to ACHIEVE BIG).
3. After retirement, at the nursing home, you will know over 300 craft projects to make from empty toilet tissue rolls.
2. Knowing you are helping to get the next generation off to a great start.
1. Unlimited hugs. (Don't let Tara catch you stealing snacks).
