[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Meh.  This is certainly not a prestigious job, but if you talked with me for 5 minutes you would realize that I know a LOt about my field.  And as for what I do with my time, today I was outside enjoying this delightful weather with my delightful coworkers, then I spent some time cooking a nice dinner for the family (which I find totally relaxing) while catching up on my favorite show.  Then I was back outside in the sunshine in the afternoon.  Is this the most powerful job in the world?  No.  But I have work that I find intellectually stimulating (I am constantly reading about and applying cognitive development, physical development, education and psychology), pleasurable, and personally fulfilling.  I make a decent living because I live very simply and don't want to be caught up in the "who is busiest and most important" contest that so many people seem to be obsessed with.  My life is happy and healthy both at work and during my free time.  Tell me again why I should be ashamed?  Because society deems pink collar fields to be worthless?  Because someone with my educational opportunities and IQ could have done well in a more competitive field?  Because my job title isn't impressive?  Fuck that noise. Life is too short.[/quote]

I <3 you! This is more or less me and a lot of people don't get it. [/quote]
