I loved the work, but hated the corporate bullshit and wanted to see the world...not much radio work around the world that lets you travel, so I chose English teacher. I had some friends that had taught in Russia, Japan and China and it sounded like fun.
I'm a good teacher, dedicated and doing good work for my students. I am never going to be rich at this but it pays the bills.
I miss radio. I miss the groupies. I miss the freebies but as a career move, teacher hasn't been a bad one.
