I go back
and forth on this. I have a deep core in me that really loves to teach,
especially mythology, but I’m not sure it’s really for me anymore. I have to
adopt a wait and see attitude. I keep pondering a question: If I had the chance
to be financially well-off without teaching, would I continue to do it? And I
don’t’ know the answer. If I’m not financially bound, then there’s an aspect of
leisure to teaching, so I can approach it differently. I can get an increased
sense of satisfaction from the endeavor when it’s leisure.
But that’s
largely speculation. I think I’ll have to try it out empirically.
