Don't think I'd ever take a teaching job in America based on how little they seem to be valued over there.Fancy a job in Chicago?

How can you teach physics in the states but not maths? Surely using the American logic it would be physic.Fancy a job in Chicago?
Do you mind - only proper graduates with a BSc on this thread pleaseEng Lit at Manchester uni. Kind of relevant to what I did afterwards I suppose. Feel free to look down on me for doing one of those worthless arts degrees you pack of snobby IT nerd w@nkers.

Add to that list how much is your watch worthOh good. A thread to help me appreciate how useless my education and jobs have been.
I'll file it alongside 'How much money I earn'; 'Where I go on holiday'; & 'What I do for charity' as ways to erode my self worth.
I must do better.
You’re related to Rupert Murdoch?BA Politics despite always being attracted to journalism.
Turned down a great opportunity to do a internship at Sky but being the principled, straight out of Uni, little snowflake that I apparently still am, I turned it down because I felt it was nepotism and that work should be paid.
Here in Vietnam I get to teach in my subject area and I'm starting to have a little joy in journalism as a food writer for the national English daily newspaper plus a fortnightly column on pretty much whatever I like.
Hoping to get some reviews of the nightlife culture into a different paper and try to film a short documentary next year.
These sorts of questions, especially 'What do you do for a living' are generally to weigh up someone's status and financial worth in the eyes of the person asking to consider and assess the opportunity for a potential connection to be formed.
It's very shallow but lots and lots of people do it. More down to earth people tend not to do it so much or it will be something that won't be a priority in early interactions. But I tend to see it as somewhat of a red flag if someone you don't really know is asking.
When I met my wife, although I knew she was a student, she didn't really ask what I did for a while. When we were going out she was asking if I had enough money and was offering to pay, sometimes insisting. Didn't really think about it at the time but I guess it's a pretty good sign.
Kids are asked to make life changing decisions very early in life. It's a good point you raise.I'm genuinely curious as to whether early study choices were suitable for the eventual career path and nothing to do with status and financial worth.
There is a part of me that questions whether doing a degree in teen years is always worth it and whether it would be better to get people in the workplace first and give them and opportunity to do a degree sitting alongside workplace learning in the early 20's would be better when they have a clearer idea of what they wish to do.
I feel the majority of degrees these days are to get you through the door when they should be making you suitable for the career instead.
