Polls: Education & Career

I don’t feel comfortable sharing this with many people so I just want insight, no sarcastic answers.

I’ve worked in financial aid for almost a yr, prior to this I worked in academic advising at another school for 2 years. This job is remote & will stay remote, the last position wasn’t & I hated it bc of management, didn’t get along with some staff & was unhappy. This role is remote but so far I get along with my team & like my boss, I have times where I feel overwhelmed & as if I’m not good at my job bc FA can be a bit much. My boss gives good feedback but I compare myself to others & second guess my work ethic.

I’ve interviewed for 3 roles so far, after my 2nd interview I was offered role as a Proof of graduation specialist. My boss was a Mgr for this dept before & said the job itself can be monotonous, the team was nice she just didn’t like managing it bc of the drama it came with. I was offered a position, same pay, wouldn’t start till March & the offer letter won’t be sent until next wk anyway so I have time to think about it.

I just interviewed for another job in the same company but academic services, the pay is a lot higher & I think I’ll be hearing back next wk. I like my current job but it’s call center like, can be busy & I want to get more experience in higher education. Sometimes it just doesn’t feel like a good fit but I’m worried it’ll come across as job hopping, I won’t be good at it & I won’t have the same type of mgmt/team dynamic I have now. If I get the academic services job that triumphs all no expectations though, I’m asking more about if I don’t get it & I have to choose between the offer I just got & my current role. I feel like I’m underpaid too with my current rate, which won’t change if I have to accept the offer I just got.

I prefer working mainly with women, but I feel as though most people prefer working with men.

I just got offered a new job
My dream job in finance!
I start in 2 weeks

But they sent me an offer letter and agreement contract

They were eager for me to sign the contract

Is it weird they want me to sign it first before they do?
So i signed it and sent it back to them

In my 2 interviews - They did keep asking me if I was interviewing with other finance companies and I said yes but was mostly interested in this role lol

What would you do for money?

I am starting a T Shirt business, I am wanting to create custom western apparel & other items. However, I cannot choose a name for my business. Please help me by voting below! Also, any other name suggestions would be highly appreciated!

I recently quit from the grocery store. Due to the 38 hours per week, not being able to sit down and only 2 bathroom breaks during 9 hour shift. Then to top it off, my coworkers threw me into the deep end of the labor work. That they did not teach me well enough for the tasks and customer service and the heavy work load. Which lead me to quit.

I tried looking for a new job. But all the businesses and companies are putting the tasks for 3 people on just 1 person. I even tried applying at the hospital for nursing assistant. That even certified nurses don’t like their jobs. Because they are also doing janitorial work.

So are people picky and lazy or are businesses putting too much load on people?

I was watching a YouTube podcast reacting to the Jubilee video Conservative Parents vs Liberal Teachers so this question is inspired by that.

I am somebody who wants to go into teaching so here is my view on politics in the classroom:

At a primary school level (5-11) no. Children at this stage in their lives are just learning basic skills like reading, writing, do simple Maths they're simply not mature enough to be having political discussions in the classroom.

At a secondary school level, it depends. For example, there's classes where politics should be irrelevant like Maths and Science. But then there's certain classes where politics needs to be discussed like Sociology and History for example because politics links to the subject. However, I think it is completely wrong for teachers to tell students who to vote for, ridicule students for having certain political beliefs, or stereotype a whole group of people based on who they vote for. And no teacher, should be advocating for their preferred political candidate in the classroom. It is just not appropriate, irrelevant and can alienate students who hold opposing political beliefs.

What are your thoughts on this matter?
