What do you do, and do you like it?

[Whateverist]

I've got everybody's dream job. I teach maths to kids 12 to 14 and have done so for the last 20+ years. Got into this after working in the family grocery business through high school and then my brother's construction company through college. Teaching is really interesting and fun so long as you can relate well enough with young people to be real with them. The curriculum has transformed often enough over the years to keep me on my toes. I like the people I teach with, the students and their parents. It's nice to have somewhere to go every workday where people need you. It's very motivating. For my next career I want something to do with gardens, my secret passion. Next year I'll be on the board of the California Horticultural Society. In my foggier retirement years I could imagine doing something for dogs too. My own are enough but perhaps I could take on a foster or two occasionally.
