I am a full-time community college English instructor.
More than one thing?
Not now. I used to teach at two or three different places but have not done so since 2005.
Work at home?
Just grading essays or creating lesson plans!
Seasonal work? FT, PT, variable, on call, hourly?
I sometimes (usually) teach one class in the summer for extra money. I am FT and am able to set my schedule, within reason, as to how I like it.
Are you doing what you wanted to do? Would you prefer some other line of work?
Yes, although many years ago I never dreamed of being a teacher. I must say, though, if I were able to go back in time and change my famly dynamics, and "what was expected or requested" of me, particularly by my father, I would definitely have donet hings a lot differently and most likely be doing something entirely different now. Still, I greatly enjoy my work and love teaching, although I loathe the political landmines I have had to roll through or step around ever so gingerly.

I can imagine being a teacher can be both frustrating and rewarding in equal amounts. I don't think I could cope with that many kids!
jwt94901:
Thank you for the welcome! No cherry cake, thank you ma'm, but I am drinking my Peet's Coffee while reading the paper and playing some music, getting ready to face the day.
Luckily I don't teach kids--I don't especially like little kids that much, I'm afraid to say, and have NO desire to have any--but I teach mostly students who range from being either just about to graduate or having just graduated from high school to adults who are married with kids of their own. The oldest student I taught was 81 years oild! :D
See you around!

I'm a registered nurse.
While I'm more than grateful to have a decent paying in demand job, it is hard and can be very frustrating at times. We even put up with verbal abuse from families and doctors. I just wish I could take care of my patients without the added B S.
I would have loved to do something like dig dinosaur bones or artifacts in the desert all day. But then I don't do well in the hot sun. So who knows.

Wishes - again a job which is rewarding and frustating in equal amounts.. nurses def deserve to be paid better.
one of our bettermost residents husband is an arhcologist I believe! Sounds like such a cool job!
Wishes:
Thanks Kelda. Yes an archeologist I imagine, out there finding all those artifacts. But I am sure there is a lot of tedious cataloging and such work to do. I guess nothing is perfect and almost everyone has to report to someone no matter what you do.
