Yeah, I don't think I want to do this again next year. I assure you that I have no regrets for having taken a leap of faith and having tried something new and this has had some really high moments. But I no longer get to have a sense of personal time, just grading that goes until midnight and the weekends. What is the use of summer off if this is my life right now? I know that the program I teach makes it an even bigger challenge, but I sense that it is for the student's benefit that I teach this way and I don't want to half ass it. So I think I will no ass it and bow out in May.
I know that it seems to early to make such a decision, and maybe in May I will totally change my mind, but I doubt it. I love my kids, but they will leave and then I will have a totally different batch. The whole thing is exhausting. If I am going to give up so much time, I need to be back making the bigger bucks. I did realize talking to Jason though that the difference between working my tail off here as opposed to the bank is that I do feel like I am busting my hump for a noble cause as opposed to spinning my wheels for the benefit of Dick K to have a third yacht. That makes is good, but just not good enough.
So I open the polls, write in your vote for what Brandy should be after the summer is over and I may try it out!

porn star?
seriously, i always thought teachers should be paid more. along with fireman and police officers. but i won't go there.
haven't a clue for your next career. maybe it's still a transition period for you and it will get better.
how bout you post your options and we vote on what you actually do? ;o)
after reading Shannon's answer is it weird that I was going to say exotic dancer?
I don't know, you of course should be paid more. But I admit it would be weird starting over with a new group just when you're breaking in the old one.
Well, I'll take the higher ground and say something other than stripper. Have you ever had the desire to write a book? You're an awesome writer and I know i'd buy it. Maybe you could just be a stripper for the cash flow while you write the book?
It sucks how hard you're working...I hope it gets better.
Not a clue, cuz I'm a boring accountant. Hope it gets better for you.
Carrie
.... lmao if they only knew....
hmm... I know what you really want to do, but I fear that will have the same effect as the job you have now...
how 'bout a job at Archiver's when it opens?
How about a stay at home mom, tha hours are long and the pay sucks but it is totally worth it. Even though you are a smart ass I don't see you stripping.
On a serious note of what you should be-have you thought of a physical therapist? My cousin just graduated and is making about $65/hour. It didn't take much schooling either. I thought I made good money, but I've been thinking of changing careers because of that! Good luck.
Um yeah, what Rita said. You could be the next Erma Bombach (sp?) with your wit ...
