I know someone who worked as a College Professor, and his salary was really good (I mean in the 80-90K range). Then had time to also run a successful consulting business.

ALOT of the college profs seem to have side jobs, like accounts, consultants or teach else where, some of the ones who've been there a while make NUFF.

break is done for many colleges and I still believe they will be ordered back to work after 2 weeks. A year has never been lost and all strikes are ordered back to work by the Government including garbage, etc....so why wouldn't this one.

Of course if i'm wrong i'm ****ed, but history shows they are ordered back so I have no reason to believe it will be different this time

I too am on a strict timeline, I'm supposed to be at businesses performing emergency and disaster planning with groups...but since it was a school organized function, we are ****ed for time. I know i'm going to have 4 weeks of work handed to me with 2 weeks to do it...and 5 teachers all doing the same thing...****

I hope you drive yourself over a cliff and take all the teachers with you...maybe i'll be nice and let you have a parachute but I want all the teachers to burn and die
