It is a pretty good gig for an aging tradesman.
No denying that. The conditions that we work in are good, facilities are very nice.
I did take a pretty big hit in wages coming out of the field and this kind of evens things up.

The first year was not fun. I had no teaching experience and only the standard curriculum and some old exams to set the course content and to re invent the existing labs so they could be graded fairly across the board. In the first four months I took two days off and worked 10-12 hours a day.

I enjoy the job. I have learned more about my field, about people and about myself in the last 4 years. Perhaps it is me that is really getting the education here.

I hope that your are enjoying your retirement, LJ. Do you miss teaching?
