[quote=Anonymous]I know that this is an old thread, PaleoCon, but I have an idea for you.  If becoming a university professor doesn't work out for you, I recommend that you become a high school classics teacher at either a private Christian school or a conservative/classical charter school somewhere in an area with a low-cost of living.  At the private school, you'd probably receive free tuition for your kids.  At a public charter school, you would receive a better salary.  Look at schools like Liberty Common School in Fort Collins, Colorado. There are areas of the country that are cheaper to live in, but this is one classical charter school that I am aware of.  You could also consider teaching at a boarding school that provides free or discounted housing for faculty.  I would look at boarding schools in more conservative areas of the country.

I do hope that you become more flexible in your views.  My ancestors were all serfs, and my hard work paid off with an Ivy League education.  I had a strong GPA at a competitive prep school (on scholarship) and aced the SAT's, outscoring many descendants of the aristocracy.  Yes, it can be difficult to have such a different education than my parents and grandparents, but I would have made a very annoying serf.[/quote]
