Well for those of you who remember, I retired from stripping this past spring, finished my degree, and started teaching this fall. Great, right? wrong...
I hate my job for many reasons. I teach at a high school for at risk youth - basically I get all of the kids who have dropped out or have been kicked out of traditional high school, and I have to try to teach them to read and write (literally... many cannot). THat is a challenge in itself, but its even more of an uphill battle when the staff are a bunch of idiots who treat me like an outsider because I am one of three white teachers (its about eighty five percent black school).
So, anyways, I am looking for another job desperately. I hate this job. I hate this area (I moved to Lakeland... the armpit of the state.. out of stupidity), but you know what I really hate? Making - in a stressful, irritating, forty hour week, where I have to do what someone else tells me to- what I would make in one night of six hours of dancing, working for MYSELF, and being able to tell people to fuck off.
sigh.
I want to go back to dancing, but I know that I don't ever want it to be my sole income. I want something concrete, and then I want to dance as a supplement. I'm not sure what is stopping me, though. I guess I just need a cheering squadHas anyone else experienced this once moving from stripping to a civiliian job? I just don't know if I am the type of person that can "work for" someone else. I get sooooooooooo frustrated with the ignorance and backward thinking of most people.
I need to be the boss. heh...
Anyways, I'm shooting for a tech writing job (everyone cross your fingers for me) where I would get to do most of the work on my own. I just am not cut out for a career in education. I know this job has really tainted my opinion (considering I regularly have students get in my face and tell me to "shut the fuck up you stupid bitch" with NO repercussions...)
thoughts?

I really had no idea what I was getting myself into. The lesson here is to dig A LOT before accepting a job.
