    To be clear, many teachers deserve the bad rep regarding how much they complain about their jobs. Get out of the profession if you don't like it. But the vacation time/days off argument is overblown. All my friends with regular jobs talk about is how much free time they have during the day to fart around.

  2. Most jobs aren’t interesting. I can’t talk about accounting or being a controller to my wife for five mins let alone a class of disinterested kids.

    Guidance counselors take over my class sometimes for presentations and I am always amused by how little presence they have. They get eaten alive.

    We had a person come in for our film class from the local film society. Super knowledgable, informative, prepared, interesting (to me, an adult with an interest in movies). The kids fuckin hated her she was like a cardboard cut out.

    Generally speaking, at least at the K-12 level, actually knowing your subject is less important than how you manage the room.

    I "like" my job in that it is better than when I worked at Burger King or Office Depot but sleeping in is better.

    Well sure, although when I take a lot of time off, I kind of miss having something fulfilling to do. I took a week off not long ago and my boss needed me to do something at one point and I was not at all bothered by it.

    My comic shop job sucks in a lot of ways, including pay.

    My after school program job is pretty rad, even on a day like today when the attendance is higher & we’re in a temporary smaller space & the kids are full of energy, lol. Chaotic, felt overstimulated, but it’s a great team that supports each other and adapts well.

    Maybe not unpopular but AI, as it is being used right now, is making social media unusable.

    I’m so tired of trying to discern whether cute animal vids on my feed are AI

    I think I'm going nuts being seemingly the only person in my software dev job who is not stoked about AI.

    Everyone is amazed at how much easier it makes our jobs (it does), but it's going to dramatically reduce jobs in the future

    My social media engagement has nearly zero AI, but my social media consists only of Instagram and this site if you count it

    I only follow my friends and musicians I like, they aren't really posting AI
     
  23. i don't see AI on any platform except when people repost it to dunk on the person who originally posted it
