People with office jobs who didn’t want an office job, how did you get to where you are? I am an ADHDer (and yes I know I can’t use it as an excuse) who wants to get into teaching but I’m being discouraged by basically everyone and I also want to consider my options. But I don’t see myself sitting at a desk for ages at a time.

Also, second question incoming. I saw some people on the beach today hitting a ball back and forth with bats that looked like cricket bats but the top of the bat was shaped like a lacrosse one. So imagine a cricket bat with a lacrosse shaped head. Does anyone know what this kind of bat is? Just a special cricket bat?

Find some kids to tutor online for an hour for free. You’ll soon find out if you really want to teach.

I’m already tutoring whilst working in retail and am sacrificing doing bigger retail shifts on the days that I tutor. I also volunteered on an online educational forum for about five years helping kids with questions relating to VCE and science.

That’s really good. I only suggested it because my daughter found someone online to help her through VCE maths methods this year. I didn’t know it was a thing until she told me.

You’re a smart cookie. You will find what you’re looking for. I know it!

I think that’s called “Jai Alai” in America, pelota elsewhere. Sort of a hand held bat with a basketlike scoop arrangement on the top. Like a woomera but for a ball. Very fast and quite dangerous game due to the sheer speed of the ball.
