I should probably acquire some sort of job skill

[Provost Harrison]

I once considered teaching but I realised I'd end up throwing one of the little bastards through a window in the end...and that's probably not good. For my career anyway...

I'm pretty sure NYC is Masters degrees only since I know someone whose husband worked as a teacher both in NYC and Philly and I was told a Masters degree was required to teach in NYC.

Yeah, that's really not the same elsewhere. NYC has higher requirements than other places do.

You know, I'm really starting to hate credentialism. 20 years ago, you didn't even need a masters to teach at the college. That only became a requirement about 5 years ago.

[Al B. Sure!]

Of course, who knows what wacky things some private schools might accept... public schools require at least a Bachelor's in education.

Que? What's up with reciting what I said?

[Ben Kenobi]

Hmm? I'm talking about public schools, Albert. Most public schools in America do not require a masters degree in order to teach.

You did not say this at all, and I wanted to correct your incorrect assumption that Elok needed his masters in order to teach English in High school.

[Al B. Sure!]

Look at what I quoted... don't act clueless after you edited it.

And I fail to see why NYC and Philly PUBLIC school districts have higher requirements than most public school districts. Shouldn't these districts have lower requirements if anything?

Someone suggested earlier that you teach overseas. What a great idea. I did it for a while until I fell in love with one of my students Anyway, there are plenty of jobs in that field and plenty of adventure too. Why not?

Seems to be a trend for old, single conservative white guys to go overseas and marry a local.

[Lincoln]

We are married now...

[Lincoln]

Actually a lot of old liberal white guys marry the locals too.

[Asher]

Aeson?

[Al B. Sure!]

Aeson?

Always Asian women too, you notice that? It's like white gold to them.

Oh, that. Just cut and paste, which is why I took what you said off.

[Al B. Sure!]

Ben, any interest in Asian women? They seem to love your type

[Ben Kenobi]

Not in my experience. I did date one for awhile when I was in Vancouver, but nothing much panned out. I liked her, she didn't, so that was that.

My preferences are quite a bit different.
