    People with office jobs who didn't want an office job, how did you get to where you are? I am an ADHDer (and yes I know I can't use it as an excuse) who wants to get into teaching but I'm being discouraged by basically everyone and I also want to consider my options. But I don't see myself sitting at a desk for ages at a time.

    Also, second question incoming. I saw some people on the beach today hitting a ball back and forth with bats that looked like cricket bats but the top of the bat was shaped like a lacrosse one. So imagine a cricket bat with a lacrosse shaped head. Does anyone know what this kind of bat is? Just a special cricket bat?

        I'm already tutoring whilst working in retail and am sacrificing doing bigger retail shifts on the days that I tutor. I also volunteered on an online educational forum for about five years helping kids with questions relating to VCE and science.

          That's really good. I only suggested it because my daughter found someone online to help her through VCE maths methods this year. I didn't know it was a thing until she told me.

          You're a smart cookie. You will find what you're looking for. I know it!

      I think that's called "Jai Alai" in America, pelota elsewhere. Sort of a hand held bat with a basketlike scoop arrangement on the top. Like a woomera but for a ball. Very fast and quite dangerous game due to the sheer speed of the ball.
