I am a night owl ...
Looking in to say 'Who! Who!' And July 5 there will be a Doctor Who marathon.
I wanted to solicit input from my FL. I can retire from my job in August, but will need more income. I am finding that I really,really want to have summers off. I have a 9 year old boy and don't - for various reasons - want to use day care for him in the summers. Also, my blown knee is reminding me that I am getting older, and if I want to have adventures other than sitting in a cubicle, well, now is the time.
So, any input? The only profession I can think of that is seasonal like that - that pays me enough to live on, with my retirement - is teaching, school librarian, computer support at a school. Any other suggestions? I'm really not sure that I am up to being a classroom teacher. Remember I am a cubicle person. I'm not used to being 'on' and focused all of the time.
I have degrees in math, computer science - but I am a dinosaur. I am a mainframer; most schools use PC's - networks. I also have a minor in Biology. Part of me would like to teach gifted students - more hands on things.
Suggestions for 9 - 10 month work that is decently paid and makes a difference?
