There’s nothing worse than taking a new job and then realizing you hate it, am I right? I had a great job but it was just really boring but in retrospect maybe I should have thought a little harder about whether or not it was a good time to leave. I started teaching school in the thought that maybe it was my passion but here I am two years later totally burned out on teaching and broke because they don’t pay teachers anything! I had to make some major lifestyle adjustments but it wasn’t too bad – I got a new place and went to http://www.satelliteinternetbroadband.com/ for internet and even started dog sitting a couple of days a week so that I could earn some extra cash. I don’t really know where the next few years are going to take me in terms of career but if I had to guess I wouldn’t say I’d stay in teaching too much longer. It’s absolutely driving me crazy which I kind of hate to say!

Ugh, Teaching

Well, I'm also a teacher and teaching in a much worse country, Indonesia. Of course, you know what it is like in Indonesia (I assume you watch and read the news about us). Teachers' salary in this country is pretty low. But I start thinking of other positive aspects in this line of work. For example; this work is very noble. We teach other people knowledge that they haven't known. We try to make them know what they didn't before. This knowledge will of course help them in their lives. God even promises to give us rewards for such a noble thing (help others). I'm not trying to lecture you. I am just simply saying that you should also take other aspects into your consideration, not only money. You should start thinking what line of work is the best for you. Either in terms of your expertise or interest. Sometimes, the unseen are more valuable than the seen.
