Some of you may remember my thread a month or so ago where I declared my weariness of being a poor musician. I've been giving serious thought to becoming a high school teacher, maybe English, based on my love of literature and the fact that I enjoyed teaching the piano (but not so much that I want to do that full time.) Three months downtime sounded nice too. but the other day a friend said to me that teachers "spend all their time preparing for their classes." That wouldn't work for me, because I still plan to work on music. She said respiratory therapists are in demand and make good money and can work as much or as little as they want. (Hmmm. I've always associated a career in heath with misery, death and bodily fluids, three things I generally try to avoid.)
Okay...to avoid the dreaded tl:dr I'll sum up: I'm going to see an advisor at the local community college on Tuesday. My thought is to try to identify something that I'll like, be good at, will still enable me some free time, there are good future prospects for, and whose income will justify the investment.
My question: any more suggestions/things to consider/resources for choosing a career/personal anecdotes/hot tgirl porn?

AAAAAHAHAHAHA AAAAAAAAHAHAHAHA AAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Is your freind a teacher by any chance? No offence to teachers but they don't really prepare at all. basically they just read the lesson's rough outline from the textbook in a fag(cigarette to you yanks) break, just before they teach it. If they actually knew anything, they wouldn't have to even do that. Most people just m,ake it upo as they go along , no? works for me.

You know the old adage...if you can't do .....teach.

All that time off on holiday and short work days can't be bad tho


high school teacher, maybe English, based on my love of literature

One musician friend started teaching English language to foreign students, similar pay to teaching piano but the class was full of hot spanish, italian, french chicks.


any more suggestions/hot tgirl porn?

There's definately money in porn. Does that mean you got to exploit people to gain a decent profit margin for your time? The girls can make money but it seems like they got to have thier own company to get a decent compensation for thier work. + slow turnaround of product, rampant piracy. looks like just as much work as the music industry to me. (too much)

I understand your plight my freind, I am very much in the same boat. :shrug

You strike me as more of the teacher type, suckseed.

My mother is a retired PS teacher...but luckily for her, she re-married well....as PS teachers are woefully underpaid in the USA.

And coincidentally, I was just told about a friend from elementary school(a very talented musician) who finally got his degree. He is now using his musical skills to help special-ed students in an elementary school...go figure...

Dude. Seriously, become a teacher. It's one of the most needed professions in this nation. For good teachers, that is. While it might be a bit underpaid (that can be changed by finding a good suburban school and joining their union), it should reward itself in the long run.

Trust me. Become a teacher. I'm sure that you'll be able to work on your music and still teach. Hell, if you have the freetime, you could probably even give music lessons after school and make some nice side cash.

You NEVER forget a good teacher, what they teach and themselves as people are things youll never forget, the are things my dad taught me which he got form his teachers, and that was a good sixty years ago...

Be a teacher, one of the few "noble" professions left...
