note: not a vent post- just something i was thinking about the other day. I'm pretty happy with how I'm doing in life :)

i love teaching and have had several tutor jobs, but teachers are treated like absolute dog water in my country (and in most other countries, i assume) with horrible pay. i basically have to do CS to make enough money to support some family members later on in life. it's not even that I'd want some incredible pay for being a teacher, I'd just need a guarantee my family would be taken care of.

post how your career would be different under socialism.

    I wouldn't mind my current job being done in a socialist setting. But ideally I'd love to help with disaster relief of some kind and when nothing is going on, some other job in the meantime like cooking. I'd do it now but from what I can tell, the main group that does that is the national guard? And I'd rather not join the imperial military

      If you mean within the US, a lot of it is done by FEMA which is now a part of the DHS so not much better. The Red Cross and Habitat for Humanity also do a lot of the less-immediate disaster relief work although their chain of command is typically through FEMA at some level.

      A lot of electrical and tree-care trades will put you in the loop for disaster relief since a lot of those folks hoof it down to disasters to do cleanup since it pays really well.
