Happy grading fellow teachers!

The Best Career Advice You’ll Never Hear in a Graduation Speech
“Follow your passion” is the stupidest career advice I’ve ever heard. Why? Because my passion in life is for singing bad karaoke. My friend Dodgy Dave’s passion is for dealing crack cocaine. Some of my friends have many passions. Most of my friends have none.
“Do what you’re good at” is better, but still stupid. It gets things the wrong way around.

How, then, should you find a job you’ll love?
Here’s my slogan: ”Do something valuable.”

Chat reblogged from Tomes Away
- Me: So in Outliers, Malcolm Gladwell says there are three things that make a job worthwhile: meaning, complexity, and autonomy. What's missing from that list?
- Junior 1: Money! That's what we always care about first.
- Me: Is money enough of a reason to do a job?
- Class (in unison): YES!
- Me: Well, I find meaning, complexity, and autonomy in my job. Teaching is worthwhile.
- Class: *crickets*
- Junior 2: Didn't you ever want, well, more out of your life than (*gestures around the room*) THIS?
- Me: How could I want more than this? Without my job, there ARE no other jobs.
- Class: OMG, you're RIGHT!
