This Isn't a Bad Attitude, Either

From a friend's Facebook description of his job:
Quote:
I spend all day every day nerding-out as hard as I can. I strive to nerd-out harder and harder each day until I have finally nerded-out so hard that I can retire a multibillionaire and live on my own private island. At which point I will resume nerding-out but this time on other things which have yet to be determined.

Making a living nerding out = win.

I win :)

(On a more serious note, find a job you love. No amount of money makes up for hating a job. OK, maybe that's not entirely true. But the price should be very, very high. Very high. Life's too short to not find meaning in half your waking hours.)

I will confirm that. I love what I am doing and I am definitly not making a lot of money. I have zero job stress other than what I impose upon myself in expectations. I have developed a unique teaching job that I just love. It will be very hard for me to finally give it up and turn it over to someone else. I have just over 900 teaching days left. Unless I have another student like Mark, Kevin or Bobby that shows up. I would have to stay around until they moved on......

You may be stuck for the long haul, then. Is it really mere coincidence that students like these keep showing up at your doorstep? I doubt it.

Judging from your success, I imagine that these expectations place more stress than any external factors could, anyway! (That's certainly the case for me.)
