When it came to finding the right kind of job for me.... these are things I need:
1) consistentcy/routine
2) variety (Oh yes... I need both variety and routine)
3) social interaction
4) freedom to be in control of my stuff
5) minimal supervision (I get antsy if I'm being scrutinized)
Teaching fit the bill for that for me! I've got my routines based on our daily schedule... but I can have as much or as little variety as I want in what sorts of actitivities we do. At the same time, I will only have the group of kids for one year and then there's a new year. I can chat with people all day long (sure, they're way younger than me, but that's ok!) but I'm also not being judged too often - I don't feel pressure from the kids as I'm in charge of the situation.
