I give up!<br /><br />As for the "i get to smell the roses only if i become a lecturer", while it is true to some extent, I think that people who really want to smell the roses will take time out, no matter what! And I have met enough lecturers who don't take time out, but get bogged down in the mundane tasks of getting the short-attention-span-students to learn something.<br /><br />Of course, you can always set a target, say X lakh (crore?) of savings, and then quit and become a lecturer once you reach there.

It's not 'if given a choice' -...@ Anon:<br />It's not 'if given a choice' - nobody gives a choice, one chooses on one's own.<br /><br />Personally, at this stage of my life, I won't become a lecturer - not at this pay. Our teachers definitely deserve better.<br /><br />And as for you, it's a decision that you will have to take. Irrespective of my (or for that matter, anyone's!) advice. It's your life. You make the decision and live with the consequences. <br /><br />Putting a name, at least initials, would have helped. Now, I am guessing which of my friends is crazy enough to listen to my advice! I can suspect 2-3 such unfortunate people, but it is difficult to narrow it down further :)SRKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05915368004417241189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26844109.post-54408496007151744642012-09-04T13:22:21.403-07:002012-09-04T13:22:21.403-07:00*Siva*SivaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26844109.post-38616367511221595452012-09-04T13:21:41.060-07:002012-09-04T13:21:41.060-07:00Interesting that you talk about reflecting on valu...Interesting that you talk about reflecting on values and 'the most important'in our lives.<br />Sica,I want to ask you something.If given a choice to become a lecturer and not what you are today,would you switch profession?<br />I am at this crossroads today and considering how much i agree with you on things,i want to have your advice.<br />Thanks.do reply.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
