If I didn’t already have a job I love (high school teacher) I would probably have to agree with parker. If it wasn't for the un-educated parents, and the oh my gosh don't hurt my feelings society we live in, I would teach until I die. Unfortunately, we have the “do no wrong kids” (according to some parents) that suck all the enjoyment of teaching out of me. I think that I can last another 3.5 days until school is out. If we could only go back to the day of having the paddle hanging over the desk, I would not be looking at a class full of kids that I am scared to death will destroy this country because they only care about themselves and nothing else around them. But, then again, I do love to teach, and impact as many young minds as I can. And what the hell, I get almost three months off and still get paid and get to fish in the mean time. Oh, and did I mention the 16 days I get off in December too.

I think that if I was offered to be Field Tester for Willie, Sage, or Loomis I might just like teaching a whole lot less.
