If you’re like me, you had a dream of changing the world. You had a dream of having a meaningful career by impacting the lives of students.
You’re dream probably didn’t include living a life of poverty; a life where you struggle to make a living.
I’ve been teaching various college courses, primarily in the humanities, for over 7 years now. To be honest, I’m probably doing better than most. But, sometimes it’s hard to be satisfied or pleased with where I am considering other people in the world who work less hours, didn’t go through a rigorous academic path to attain an advanced degree (like we did), but yet make a better living.
I feel your pain.
But, I firmly believe we don’t have to struggle. With some motivation and out of the box thinking, I think adjunct instructors, and anyone else interested in an unconventional career path, can make a living and thrive.
My goal for this website is for it to be a place where I can share where I’ve been, where am I, and how I plan to get to where I want to go with my career and financial status.
Specifically, here is what I expect from myself with this website:
- My financial goals and strategies on how to achieve them.
- Ideas on how to raise our income and increase our net worth.
- Sharing my struggles and accomplishments with you so that we can both learn from my experiences.
- Progress updates on my financial situation to keep both of us motivated.
