It seems like you have the right idea and certainly the passion to pursue it. I suppose what you're doing falls under the old saying of work you enjoy shouldn't feel like work at all. Keep it up!

I think what I meant by not having a paying job and hating work is that I do not have a paying job, aside from the minimal amount of money I earn tutoring writing to college and inner-city high school students, as well as teaching a writing workshop to a class full of 5th graders as part of pursuing my degree. I love every minute of it. I don't like work that doesn't feed anything back to me, but teaching does that. I do have a desire to teach. In fact, I've got an overwhelming desire to teach students who did not have the opportunities that I did, who attend school within a system that seems to have only one goal-to get them the hell out. I don't envision myself (as I once, admittedly, did) working at a high school in a wealthy suburb, with a cushy job in the English department teaching writing. I do envision myself teaching writing on many levels-to college students and also to disadvantaged high-school students, possibly within the type of program through which I tutor them now. In fact, my dream is to start such a program. I should probably refrain from being so snarky all the time. It makes me look like a bitch. Which I can certainly be much of the time.

More to the point, what good is a teaching degree if you have no desire to teach?

Hope all is well in your world. Sounds like you have many blessings on your plate. I'm like you, many degrees.. but I don't wanna work either. They should pay us to stay home & keep out of trouble, huh? Love your site! Hi Vikki! Hope all is well in your world. Sounds like you have many blessings on your plate.
