My only gripe with this is that academic carreers and working in the field are not really interchangeable.

I would have loved helping people learn by teaching a few classes after graduating, but would any company have hired me after seeing that's the only thing I did in those years?

I love helping people and making the world better, and if I could I would switch between teaching at college and working in the industry every few years, but unfortunately it's not really possible




Some of the lecturers at my local community college have regular jobs and do a course or two a year on the side. It's not their full-time job.
