I know we all have good days and bad days at work but, in general, do you like what you do for a living? Do you way the benefits and the short comings and feel that you have to stay there because you be happy but taking a huge loss (medical insurance for your family verus being excited about you do for a living)? Is this where you see yourself in 5, 10- or even retiring from?

I actually teach fifth grade (kids age 10-11) and have been doing it for nine years with a combined teaching experince of 15 years. It is a good thing to teach! If you get bored of doing things one way you can simply change this for the next group! It would drive me crazy to work in a factory! The repetition would drive me insane! It looks like you are from China! I have never been there before! Is there anything you could share with me about your area! I am very intersted in hearing about places I have never been and people I have never met! What other types of jobs have you held? Why did you want to get into teaching?

i think i do not like that current job too much. in terms of opportunity and all I am getting nothing. the pay scale is also low. i want to change it at the earliest.

What kind of job do you have? I am a teacher by trade and am able to change things up if I need to get through the school year. My wife used to work in an auto part plant. I can't imagine repeating the same process over and over again for the whole day! Even if a person moved from one station to another the repetition would drive me insane. Of course, some of those people are making over $25 a hour...I am sure that is some motivation to work! I see you are from India! I have heard many things about your country but have never been there! Can you tell me a little about it? It is very interesting, to me, to hear from people from different places!

I can imagine what it is like to want to get out of school and get on with your life! What made you want to be a basketball coach? Did you like playing and wanted to take it to the next level? I think it would very interesting, especially at the professional level, but I am sure it can be pretty stressful no matte what level you're at. Get a good team and have a good season. Get stuck with a bad one and you'll earn your pay with frustration!
