angry yet calm

[Timmy Tucker]

First off, sorry about your job. I've been out of town (w/o internet access  ) due to an emergency since Dec 26. Seems like you might have a good game plan figured out, though.

albeit late

It's never too late dude.

I'm not an old make the beast with two backser like you  (will be 33 on Wed) , but old enough to have to think twice about a complete career/lifestyle/education change. A few weeks ago, I had one of those same moments you did. Realized that I've kinda been chasing my tail all these years. Long story short, I start school this summer and if all goes as planned, I should be done when I'm around your age.

Good luck man. I really hope it all works out for ya.

BP - I teach middle school and my fiancée is interning to be a high school teacher.  If fact, that's where my fiancée and I 1st crossed paths.  She was observing teachers for a class to see what type of things went on in the classroom. 

Howie was pretty accurate.  Your day never begins at 8, always before.  It never ends at 3 either.  I fill in for bus drivers to support my motorcycle habit.  There are plenty of rewarding aspects of the job.  Like, when this super-difficult kid, that was an absolute pain in the ass sends you a Christmas card saying they're finally graduation and thanking you for putting up with them long enough to teach them something.  Lots of rewards, just none are in your paycheck.  The time off in the summer is awesome, being home around Christmas is nice, being off when kids/grandkids are off are a huge benefit in my mind.

PM me if you want to know something.  Middle school is a very, very tough crowd, but I love (almost) every minute of it

"If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams,
   And endeavors to live the life which he has imagined,

  He will meet with a success unexpected in common hours.

  He will pass an invisable boundry,
      New , universal and more liberal laws will begin to
     establish themselves around and within him;

    And he will live withthe license
      of a higher order of beings."

Thanks for all the positive thoughts

I'm lucky to have met, fallen in love with, and married an ed you makater...... so's I get a lil bit of an advantage in the "and now what do I do" department.

And..... as a side bonus, I'm hoping that my kids see this  step in my life, and it will be an inspiration to them to follow their dreams.

No FHE on teaching as a profession, but you've got lm to give you the inside track.
