(+) Yeah! (+)

Then I got to middle school and was like "Nah."

Then you get to your mid 20s and look at the salary/benefits packages they get for part time work and think "D'oh!"

I've given some thought to going to grad school and becoming a teacher

Nah. When I got to my mid 20s, I finally had an idea of what I wanted to do for a career. I'm happy with my choice. Also, teachers commonly work 50 - 70 hours/week during the school year.

I did 80 hour weeks for a couple weeks last year to get my job's new corporate office network set up, but I do between 40 - 47 hours/week these days.

I decided against being a teacher in middle school because the kids were so bad. When I got to college, I realized I was so tired of school and school environments.

I'm from a long line of teachers, but that's part of why I didn't want to do it.

How on earth did you arrive at that conclusion

I think I would rather be a garbage man than a teacher.
