Being a lecturer is awesome: Really?

Teaching is the profession that teaches all the other professions. ~Unknown.

Once upon a time…

after being a professional developer for almost 3 years, and tasks are being repeated. I felt like I was on a whormwhole of my thoughts. Suddenly, I became burnout.

Ever heared about Programmers Burnout? I thought that was just a myth or something that ain’t real. But like any other developers who struggle on it. I struggled on it. I looked for ways to overcome burnout and teaching came to my mind first. Fortunately, there’s a school near to our house, ofcourse it’s a new environment and also lower paycheck. As in, very low paycheck.

Here’s an example math of how low the paycheck was:

Let us say, my previous salary was 18,000 in peso. Denotes Sp = 18000 and my teaching job was Sp/2

Solve:

Cp = Sp / 2

I better not compute it still hurt even though it’s 3 years ago now. But I leared alot during in that 1 year of teaching, and it opened alot of opportunity for me. That the lives of the students rely sometimes on the teachers. Teachers can inspire or destroy they’re lives. It is crazy to think but that is true.
