by that time I will have a master's hopefully. And four or five rounds of teaching two sets of the same class with about thirty five students in each. Then I should be employable.. at least in the field I want to work in..
I don't know if I will have the stamina for the doctorate.. we'll see..
first class is like at 11am. Just early enough to still detect the hangover monday morning on frumpy appearing freshmen..
with the economy I think things might be a little different. The students might be a little more motivated than in the recent past.. I hope.
plus a lot of universities are tightening up alcohol use policies for minors.. and most freshmen are under-age. Still, this place is known as a party school.. what larger public university doesn't have that reputation anyway..
I like the community college route.. the youngsters usually live at home, and get a year or two more supervision.. two years at the community college, then away two years to the big school. By that time, they have most of their basic classes done, and have half an idea why they are there..
Even as recently as a year ago I thought right doctrine was very important. Now I don't.
I have thought about this a lot too, and I am no longer strained by doctrine. I think there are people (like current wayfers and other Christian types) who care more about doctrine than God does Himself. I think the "we have to be right" attitude is the thing that screws people up the most. It causes judgment on others. It didn't seem genuine to me, and fights over doctrine is what religious wars of the world have been about for centuries. You'd think mankind would learn from the lessons. Instead they keep repeating them.

In four or five semesters.. I hopefully will have a masters in math..four semesters of teaching algebra. I would love to teach on a community college level.. algebra, trigonometry, calculus.. differential equations..

I don't suppose you could try to Come to California and work at my community College just long enough to teach Statistics could you.
I may end up having to take it from the evil professor. Blargh!!!!

Just getting my AA is a challenge for me.
I am now trying to decide a direction for my AA
Can't make my mind up if I want to do Computer Tech or Accountant/bookkeeping.

Life is as different as it could be.
non-religious
no fellowships or church meetings
so no SITing or praying for that matter
question more
very few TWI contacts, mostly family
married
business owner, not an employee
college grad
I actually have a BS instead of just quoting BS
I have meaningful conversations w/ people
"how can I fit 'the word' into this" never comes to mind
no witnessing
no required reading or tape listening
raise my kids the way I see fit
more politically left than before
care about politics and the world at large more
I'm still basically the same person though.
I just get to be myself more now.
So much so though, that much of my adult TWI years seem like another life.
