[Mr. IWS]

I always tell my kid he should be a teacher for those same reasons. Decent pay for not a lot of work, and summers off.

Hes going to med school and will be working his balls off for a decade just to get his degree lol. At least Ill have a nice retirement home to go to when Im an old man.

Wow. Is that uniform throughout the country in your opinion? Why dont you stick with it?

Yep. All schools operate the same way. Was in a 6th grade classroom and a 4th grade one. Replace the 30 minute study hall with a 30 minute recess. Besides that, same thing.

And I will stick with it if I don't decide to do something else. Its not bad. The day goes really fast and the kids don't get on my nerves....most of the time

The fact that I've student taught on two separate occasions for three month periods.

Typical day:

School starts at 7:30am. You get there at 7:15 just to start the computer and check emails. Homeroom last 30 minutes. First class comes in at 8 and you teach till 9:30. At 9:30 they go to music or gym and you're left alone till 11:00. They come back at 11:00 and you teach the second class till 12:30 . Then lunch for 30 minutes and study hall for 30 minutes and you start teaching your last class at 1:30. Schools over at 3

So you've taught 3 classes for 1.5 hours each= 4.5 hours. You have 90 minutes everyday to yourself to do whatever you want...grade papers, plan for tomorrow, or fuck off. There's zero reason you should have to take anything home.

Whoever claimed they work 90 hours a week is full of shit. The hardest part of teaching is putting up with a classroom full of kids.

Poopoo majored in the samething so he can verify this also

You only teach 4.5 hours a day? What do you base that on? I always hear from teachers that they work exhorbant hours and spend their time grading papers. I know a kid that claimed he worked 90 hours a week as an elementary school teacher.

I have a degree in teaching (Education), but I'm going back to grad school soon for something. Teachers make a lot more than people think. You start at 38k but after 10 years you're making 65k. You only work 9 months a year and only 4.5 hours a day. All weekends and holidays off also. Great retirment plan also. If you worked somewhere else in the summer you could easily make 75k a year. If I don't go into something else, I'll just go teach.

But that's if you can deal with kids....

That's all I know. MMAscientist is an Attorney, Svino is a laser scientist, and Zak is a club dancer, so they can tell you about those professions

I cut back on dancing to fridays and saturdays only, so I dont make as much as I used too, but its a good living and lots of pussy if you want it.

I am looking to go back to school in order to increase the amount of money I can make. I am having a bit of trouble figuring out what would be a good major for that. I have considered nursing. Anyone have any advice? I know this post is odd and out of the blue.

My dad was a big time boxing fan, so I can remember it being on the TV when I was just a little kid. There is nothing better then the big fight atmosphere from back then.

My dad doesn't watch sports......and then there's me who is an MMA, boxing, football, basketball nut. Guess I was adopted

BTW, I heard Jim Gunn had a live bet on Douglas via KO over Tyson +850000 in that one.

[Mr. IWS]

But I've been watching boxing since around the Tyson-Douglas time. No idea why I got into boxing at such a young age but I loved it
