What about those of us who don’t really like teaching but we’re accidentally really good at it and can pretend to the kids that we love it enough for them to believe us but come home to existential dread each day? Do we count?
I’ll be honest, I’ve worked a very corporate office job for 4+ years. Then one day, I just decided I wanted to take a part-time teaching job at a university.
Best decision I’ve ever made. I really loved my job. It gave me a sense of fulfillment and purpose I didn’t get in the corporate world. I’ve had a student say that my class didn’t feel like a class, but an interactive workshop on how to improve their lives and make better choices. I almost cried when my student said this to me.
