RE: "58" Shades of Gray #3 Day Job; Employee VS Self Employed
Nice post and nice attitude... I actually just quit teaching after 16 years, and I'll be earning money online from now on... so moving to being self-employed and having to deal with precarious income....
I couldn't do the mental switch you made, teaching's just got too bad, but at least I can get out, that's only partly due to steemit.
I like the interaction on here, lots of crazy, in a good way, people!
Some situations can be unbearable. I would never encourage anyone to stay in a field that isn't working for them(excluding occasional bad days, because they are a part of everything). It's outrageous that one of the most important fields we have(teaching) is in the state it's in. A couple of teachers I had are some of the most influential people in my life. I would be interested to here more about your experiences as a teacher; worst frustration and best reward. Is SteemIt your main online income now?
Yes it is shocking, and people staying are getting squeezed more and more every year.
steemit's not my main income stream, it's my wordpress blog over at revisesociology.com
I'm going to try and increase my income on steemit - but I'm aware this could be challenging to say the lease! If I hit a regular $500/ month I'll be VERY happy with that!
Well, based on what I see in your posts, you will be getting a few cents from me, lol. Perhaps someday my vote will have more impact.
Why thanks, every little helps! And as to the later, hopefully and for all of us!
