And I like to think I'm a hard bastard. I've had drastic career changes... not that I've ever really had a career as such. But I've accepted lower pay to pursue something I've really wanted to do, and although the money is a biggie it's not everything (just felt like stating the obvious). I've also found that everyone supports the idea of pusuing a dream but not many of those people will actually make the financial sacrifice themselves. I understand that too because playing it safe is very sensible. I've often wished I was more sensible. Maybe you could become a special guest celebrity teacher.

Teaching isn't a profession though, it's a vocation. I think you'd be suited to it but not all are... both my parents are teachers, I'm not (largely because they talked about put me off!). Remember, they aren't ALWAYS cute and attentive. ;-) The important thing, though, is that YOU are happy. If you'll be happy teaching, go teach! Sounds like a great day.

It leaves time for travel, writing, or lazing. And it has long-term effects on lots and lots of peoples. You'd be good at it. Teaching’s good. It leaves time for travel, writing, or lazing.

You'd be excellent - and excellent teachers make a better future for us all. Talking to you about it the other day has inspired me to look into rejoining the profession myself. Thanks.
