note: not a vent post- just something i was thinking about the other day. I'm pretty happy with how I'm doing in life :)
i love teaching and have had several tutor jobs, but teachers are treated like absolute dog water in my country (and in most other countries, i assume) with horrible pay. i basically have to do CS to make enough money to support some family members later on in life. it's not even that I'd want some incredible pay for being a teacher, I'd just need a guarantee my family would be taken care of.
post how your career would be different under socialism.
I'd probably stay a mail carrier. Nice thing about the job is that it's so ubiquitous it works for a lot of these sorts of question.
