i didnt even write in the perspective of anyone, I just wrote about the positives and negatives of working as a teacher but not in a personal view i just used 'vous pouvez' and for the second paragraph i talked about what i wanted to be in the future etc.

I’m pretty sure you had to discuss the advantages and disadvantages of you being a teacher. And if you included your work plans for the future then you’ll be fine.

You did not have to write it from the point of view from a teacher. In fact, it would have been more easily structured and fluently sequenced had you written it from your perspective about what you believe are the disadvantages and advantages of being a teacher as the next bullet point was your future plans for work (implying you didn't already have a job) . For example, you could have written 'The teachers salary is very low' which would have been perfectly acceptable.

okay good, so is what i did right? I talked about the good and bad aspects of being a teacher, such as 'vous pouvez travailler dans une grande collège' etc. and then for the second paragraph I talked about what I want to work as in the future?

In terms of what you are doing, yes what you did is correct however i cannot say that 'vous pouvez' would be considered 'accurate' because that implies you are talking to an actual person (although in english saying, you can do this or you can do that sounds normal, in French they use 'on' rather that 'vous' or 'tu' to describe this), what you are trying to say is 'on peut travailler dans une grande collège' which would make more sense, but that's not to say you have lost all marks there, you definitely will not, so yes what you did was correct.

As for the second bullet point, work in the future is exactly correct!

100% NO. 90 words and 150 words are guidelines (sort of minimums) , and exceeding them is completely fine (some teachers even recommend it)
