Pros

Lecturing, teaching and mentoring students.

Cons

As a contract lecturer you will NEVER get three quarters in a row. This means if teaching is your passion, you will be trying to live on a poverty wage in SLO, which is impossible. I thought that my 30 years of corporate experience and 20 years of teaching would have some value to the university. So then I thought I'd try to get on as staff and then teaching in the evenings. No way, almost all job postings have already been assigned to internal staff or "favorites." If you are lucky to get a rushed 1/2 hour interview, they are just filling their quota.

Pros

At the ASI Children's center I learned the fundamentals of how to care and relate to children, got excellent training with head teachers (some were nicer than others), and moved my way up to other positions in the company.

Cons

Just like you do with friends, some of the head teachers you have chemistry with and others you don't. The ones you don't make the job feel more difficult. Pay was okay for me then with lower costs and inflation but now I am guessing it won't be enough for the current economic times.
