Plus, here are three reader comments:
Megan tells us what it’s really like to be a teacher. “As a high school English teacher for over 20 years, I wanted to share some of my favorite pieces of wisdom from my teaching friends. ‘Be who you need to be at your age.’ I tried to do that with my students. “It’s also a great way to empathize with my past self, who needed a lot but didn’t know how to ask.”
HW says this about your job: “I know this comment will get buried under this mountain of amazing text, but am I the only one crying right now? It makes me so happy to read about the amazing work you all do, and I’d like to respond individually to everyone with a little variation of ‘That’s so cool!’ ‘Good!’ So if you need it today, I think you have a great job and you’re great at it! I’ve also noticed that many people in the CoJ community tend to find great satisfaction in helping out in the field despite the challenges. Go as a team!”
Anon says: “For every cool job mentioned here (actually every job is a cool job!), there are probably five people who didn’t comment because their job isn’t cool and they don’t like it. You don’t have to love your job! Your job doesn’t define you! I am a school administrator who works in the nutrition department. “I find the job of feeding thousands of school children meaningful, but it is not my dream job and I often find it boring and frustrating.”
