Professors and Jobs

One thing I hope everyone else will do is that they will do something they enjoy. As a college student, I enjoy class. Yes, I do enjoy class, especially the good ones. I mean I pay like a couple hundred for every hour I spend in class. However, the thing that makes me angry is when I get professors that not only suck, but hate their job. It sometimes makes me wonder why they are still teaching for their profession if they dislike it. I sit in their class, endure their monotonous groans about what the subject is about. They waste their time, and I waste mine. It's just annoying.

Sometimes, however, it's alright if they are bad at teaching, but enjoy it. They seem more approachable and want to help you. They aren't there in this case just for the sake of money, and attempt to get by through as little work as possible. Instead, they are there cause they genuinely care. One of my professors is like that. Every class, his class is just so bad; so I sit myself down in the classroom and proceed to sleep through to the end of the class. It's a pretty terrible class. However, it is good to know that the professor genuinely cares about how you're doing in his class. Every class, he reminds us that he's there to help. That makes his class so much less painful.

Of course, being proficient at what you do is important. However, whether you are or not, at the very least, for the sake of the people around you, enjoy it. So my lesson for myself is to find something you want to do; it makes everything so much better for yourself and the people around you. Don't do it for the money, don't do it for anything else. Do something that you would enjoy and find fulfillment from.
