Name the Place You Can Pay NO Taxes And Receive A Refund..

[schuylaar]

you having the urge to masturbate is not exactly an area of study I'm familiar with in the academy. just interested in your path and thought i might be able to offer you some insight since I already posses my MA and am working on a PhD; didn't mean any offense by that. teaching can be a stressful gig if you let it, and be forewarned that, below the university level, it is very easy to lose passion for your subject matter. Inattentive or apathetic students, crushing administrative demands, and disgruntled colleagues are all forces that can make your area, that subject matter you loved so dearly that you wanted to share and impart to others your understanding thereof, a burdensome, repetitive, tiresome load. If you're not doing student teaching now, you might want to start, just to get a taste, and to get some confidence for when you take over a classroom by yourself. That way you'll have gotten beyond all of the typical rookie errors with a mentor along to help correct those errors, rather than making the mistakes on your first time out and feeling bad about it.
Now, since you are clearly uninterested in any of this advice I'll pop off.

well, here's the thing..i don't want to work full-time anymore..maybe adjunct professor college level (obviously)..i want to go to school for the next 10 years..then i want to work for non-profit part-time for 10 years so my student loans can be forgiven.

i well understand the dynamics of a school non-profits in general..and all that you had mentioned..there is nothing you can do without regulation, shithead kids and faculty..i see the dynamics everyday and speak with professors regarding same..trouble is, unless you are in YOUR OWN BUSINESS, you are always accountable to someone else.

you are probably the first person ever to say "I want to be an adjunct"--the life of an adjunct is piecing together courses at every local community college, being ready to leave at the drop of a hat to a better contract position for 9 months, no benefits. You generally teach 3/5 or 5/5 loads and have next to no time for your own research. Also, to be an adjunct, you need a PhD, so that should satisfy 5-7 of your 10yrs of school. I'm not trying to talk you out of anything here, i'm just saying it doesn't sound as though you have as great a sense of familiarity with the "dynamics" as you might think. And, i understand that shithead kids exist at any point in education, and that administrative forces exist everywhere; that was not the point of highlighting those forces. The point was that they can make you lose interest in your own subject matter. If you lose that, it becomes near impossible to live a satisfying life in the Academy because you spend all of your time thinking and talking about something you don't really care that much about. anywho, if you're in medicine, this is all fairly different. If your in any hard science / analytical philosophy its fairly different as well. Without knowing your area, general insight is all that can be given.

i don't want to work full-time anymore.

also, defining "work" and "full time" for yourself will be important. I read somewhere between 1000 and 1200 pages a week, 90% of which is shit i don't like and is not directly relevant to my work in cultural studies. I also have students to grade, meet with, and teach. These things alone take most of the time that i have in the week. I sleep around 5.5 hrs a night, 7 days a week. There is no time for rest, and getting "behind" can be fatal. I put in somewhere around 80-90hrs a week. And i only get a stipend that barely covers my living expenses. So, if one of your primary objectives is not working full-time anymore, you need to be ready to work extremely hard for those 10 years to get to a place where you then have to work just as hard for another 10 years, and THEN you'll be able to hit on the lifestyle you seem to be going after. The capacity to work for a non-profit while holding a teaching position is not exactly laid back, unless you already have tenure--which requires around 15-18 years doing the above, plus publishing 2 books, 10 articles and being evaluated for your pedagogical contributions to whatever department from whence you seek that tenure. SO, it is quite the long haul, and you should definitely be talking with your professors about any of this if you have any concern about anything i've written thus far. BUT, do go ahead with student teaching if you can...lower pressure with good experiential benefits.

bingo..i've only just begun and i'm sure i will, like any freshman, will re-work my career focus time and time again before i'm done..all in all..i'm not really interested in full time work anymore..i'd like to think of it as semi-retirement at an early age..i've brought my career in B2B to a level where often, ive led the ENTIRE state and ONCE..the ENTIRE US out of thousands of reps..i'm done with that.

back in the day, my mother discouraged me from taking student loans which discouraged me from school..however, she went on to graduate from Farleigh Dickinson (magna cum laude), Nova University and her Ph.d..i've felt my entire life less than everyone else because of no degree..i'm enjoying my college experience and all the doors that will now be open to me when they weren't before..i will never be singled out again because of lack of degree..

i plan on 2 years here and then finish bachelors at one of the BIG florida schools..maybe UCF or FSU..if my grades are good enough UM..masters? let's see who will offer me a program..my daughter is 1st year masters at FSU currently..she was offered UCF and FSU..since she graduated UCF she chose the FSU program

Actually, it died when Andrew jackson threatened to send an army into south Carolina 20 years prior to the civil war. The south started secession precicely because they knew they couldn't nullify.

The nullification game was played long after Jackson was president and addressed in numerous supreme court decisions, up to the Civil War. That's when the jig ended. You seem to be aware of this since you just noted that some confederates made explicit reference to their failure...

 

[tokeprep]

what career?..you're always here..even with a home office..don't you ever work?

Again, if you think I'm "always here" you're delusional. I wasn't here for almost a month; I wasn't here for a long time before that burst; I was gone a couple months before the next one; and I was gone a few months before that. I must have been doing other things.

I think he likes to come back for the whipping he gets quite regularly.

I sense a gag-ball is a regular visitor to his bedroom.

Not many doors get opened anymore for a basic bachelor degree hun. Very common for people to have one. Masters or a PHD if you want to look like a shiny star.

What whipping? No one can maintain a substantive discussion, nevermind win one.

yeah i will speak with the department head about student teaching..my daughter wanted to teach, then wanted to do something in corporate psychology and now she decided she likes to be on campus..BIG campus, loves the student life and enjoys peer counseling..she's looking to be department head but not teaching.

all in all, i want per diem work..i want to decide when i'd like to work or not..school is not work for me..it's actually kinda like a vacation considering my past.

i don't envy you grading papers etc..i know it's a lot and the time you put in.. it's crazy.

i'm very aware of this, which is why the only direction i know at this point is to go to school..i will live low budget for a long time; i don't care about the material anymore..i just want inner-peace.

We know it is not freeloading because she has obviously mastered that!!

If you get hit by a bus, where will you get your wheelchair? Between the wreak and the hospital, that may be a pre-existing condition, and I am not kidding.

A person at work told us, she went in to get a cavity filled. Her Dentist, said she could wait until the new year so to be in benefit reset.

But, we changed dental plans. Now that same dentist tells her, this is considered a pre-existing condition by the new insurance company, since they didn't fix it last year.

I am sure this pile on is occurring everywhere, until '15 when the employer portion of the ACA kicks in.
