Jim,
The father in me thanks you for becoming a teacher. My young teenagers have had some AMAZING teachers that have been great influences.
The old tired-of-working-for-a-giant-international-corporation employee in me often thinks about how cool it would be to give it all up and teach. I think I'd really enjoy teaching at a junior college. It probably won't ever happen, but a guy can dream.
Welcome to the campfire.
Ken
