  • Please, everyone listen to this person. I’m am so thankful to work at a school with NASA engineers and successful novelists/journalists who just want to share their passion. Kids know when you are phoning it in, and they respond by phoning it in themselves. Nothing good is accomplished. If you can afford it and handle it, please give your time to the next generation. They are awesome already, but could use as many mentors as they can get. Passion is hard to find these days.

    Doesn’t hurt to try. I know people who have taught at community college with just a bachelor’s degree in the subject. Hell, I only have a bachelor’s in my subject area, my master’s is in teaching, and I got a job before finishing my master’s. College prep high school. The teaching profession needs all the enthusiasm it can get, because that is really what kids respond to. My high school students would ADORE an actual software engineer teaching them. So many of them want to be you. This why teachers should be paid waaay more, as those who are talented in that regard can’t easily make ends meet.

    Edit: excised a word that should not have been there.
