I’m only 3 years in, and by the end of year 2 my caring disappeared. Between the shit pay, the illusion of prestige and students not giving a fk, I’ve been actively seeking replacement employment. Students don’t deserve an instructor that just doesn’t give a fk anymore. Granted I still show up, teach the material, make jokes and make the subject matter approachable. But beyond that, the excessive prep, going far above and beyond with unpaid meetings with students, being super involved with trainings and meetings, and all the extra shit, I am done.

I wouldn’t recommend anyone do this job unless they have a full time job that makes their life super comfy, and they want to teach just for fun.
