Stig....
I spent 15 years working in soul sucking jobs for minimum wage. I now have a job where what I do is appreciated, not for the amount of money I make to line someone else's pocket, but for how well I do it.
What I teach is governed by the national curriculum but how I teach it is not. My day is as fun as I want to make it.
Yes there is a lot of work to do, yes it can be very hard and there are targets to meet, but it is rewarding.
On top of all that for the first time in my life I am earning a wage where I can afford to eat out when I feel like it. Also I only work 195 days a year.
