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.
Truly true but I always think there's actually lots of people who would like those jobs if a) treated and paid well, b) building towards something that is contributing to socialism.
Like I always think I'd happily teach, barista, do outdoor labor, and more if doing so wouldn't immediately cut my pay by like 60%
