My new career part 2
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?

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

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.
While if I could go back in time and change things, God knows I would, I also realize that such a thing is impossible. So I just have to move on with my life and make sure that I come out the other side a better person. That’s all there is too it.

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...
