Recently I got my first teaching job teaching English at a 4 year university. I have worked in the past doing retail in my younger days, selling clothes at JC Pennys, and then worked for 8 years doing mortgages, until the economic crisis hit and I was laid off. I went back to school, and now, for the first time in my life, I enjoy what I do for a living. It's such an amazing feeling. Part of my job entails teaching college kids (and I so enjoy them!). Since I teach at a four year, most of these kids are polite well rounded young adults who honestly care about their futures. I take great pleasure in my interactions w them during class time. The second part of my job entails researching and writing academic papers for the English discourse community. I also thoroughly enjoy that part of my job, and find it mentally stimulating and rewarding (especially when I get published). It's a brand new amazing feeling to have a job I like, and it has contributed to my overall quality of life and happiness. I wonder how many people out there have a career that they enjoy.
