That way I'll at least have something if I don't hit the 50k.<br /><br />Your comments about studying history remind me of Robert E. Howard and his attitudes towards academics in general. So you're in good company there.<br /><br />I think your decision to teach is probably a good one. I would hate to see you pursue something that will only lead you to jobs where you have to say a lot of words that begin with the letter W. You know, things like "Would you like fries with that?" and "Welcome to Wal-Mart." While teaching may not be the most appealing and well-paying job, a teacher who can bring an enthusiasm for history to the classroom is someone who is doing society a true service.Adventuresfantastichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16907562789681407416noreply@blogger.com
