i hate my cushy bullshit job where i make obscene amounts of money. should i quit my job and become a teacher? here’s what i’m thinking so far:

pros:

  • i won’t hate my job anymore
  • my job is a real job where i actually contribute to society
  • summer vacation sounds dope

cons:

  • maybe i still hate my job
  • my job would be a real job where i do work
  • i won’t make obscene amounts of money
  • wtf grad school is expensive

alternatively, are there other jobs i should try to do instead? mind you i have no skills and would probably need to go back to school.

    they didn’t mean to imply that, they meant that public school teaching in the US or other capitalist countries is teaching propaganda to kids, not the concept of all of public schooling itself. at least i hope that’s the idea

      Yeah, and until and unless that changes, my question is what could be done for kids that need education, right now. It fucking sucks right now, and that’s one of the main reasons I left the profession myself, but that doesn’t mean that “shit sucks, just stop trying” should be a society-wide decision ever after.
