After 5 years of building and 10 years in the landscape/nursery industry, I felt my back is not going to take this for another 15 years so I decided to teach what I had learnt.
I now work 4 days a week teaching/tutoring (underpaid teacher) horticulture at TAFE on the Sunshine Coast. Well someones got to do it. Worth it? Money wise? Who cares I love it. Best job in the world. Start at 8:00 finsish by 4:00, plenty of time to head bush after work for some star scanning.
Who would want to work 9:00 - 5:00, 5 days a week again. Not me. Though it does make those important purchases (CCD, guideing scope etc) a more challenging goal.
Cheers and clear skies
Paul
