I call em like I see em! :-)
I had some very fine teachers both in school and in college.
And some bad ones too.
I think being a teacher would be a very frustrating job, especially for a person who really cares about other people. You watch the kids goof off and throw their futures away.
Thanks. :-)
I think so. Luckily my students are always good students who have a real interest to learn. I'm blessed in that regard.
When I fight I fight to win.
Like my attorney said, the battle is won or lost before you even get to court. Preparation is everything.
Life can be like that too, even during a trip to the Post Office.
Good night, Rca.
Yep.
Thanks. I enjoy it. There are a lot of good kids here. There are always a few bad apples, but that's the way it is in everything.
Nah... It's better that I'm not practicing. LOL!
I'm surprised to hear you say such a thing.
I know you are a hard worker and that you would do everything in your power for a client.
What really soured you on the profession?
I am in the education field, actually, but I am not a teacher. I am a trainer and consultant. :-)
I just realized that it wasn't for me. Nothing specifically happened - it was just a feeling.
The legal profession's loss is the teaching profession's gain.
When you are in law school, you will take law classes in a lot of different areas. So you will be able to narrow down the areas of law that you like and then decide which one(s) you want to go into.
I trained a lot of people to be computer operators when I was in the Air Force. None of the older guys wanted to do it. You had to do your job, their job and train the person too.
As soon as I got a person sufficiently trained they would move the person to another shift and give me another person to train.
My superiors appreciated my efforts and looked out for me.
Lots of law students even date their professors! It's a cool environment! Haha! :-)
And, I'm sure things can (and probably will) change.
I'm just trying to map out what I want to do and how I want to get there at this point--subject to change ;)
At my last job in a law firm, nobody wanted to do the training sessions so I did it, partly because I was the new guy and partly because I didn't really care.
In time, my contributions were taken for granted, and I was getting 'volunteered' (and being the last to know) for all sorts of peripheral training sessions. Can't say I was looked out for - they were taking me for granted and taking advantage of me.
I quit. Ticked them off. Best move I ever made, though. :-)
