Took a teaching gig because I needed to move to Houston and never got any hits on applications to Houston biopharm jobs. But that was ok because it paid more than my CS biopharm job, with way less hours.
Discovered I'm damn good at it, and enjoy coming up with interesting ways to teach a difficult subject that most kids hate anyway. It sure helps when former students come back & tell me i was their favorite, or that college chem was a lot easier because of me. However, it's getting worse & worse cuz now most kids don't care AT ALL, no matter how "fun" i try to make it.
Maybe it's a problem of motivation?
