I'm bored

Teaching has been going pretty good so far, I have definitely got a lot better. I'm not great. There could be serious drama in one of my classes today because I made a huge mistake, but I'm doing alot better now than I was last year or the year before. Partly because of this, and partly because of this maturity kick I've been on but I'm starting to get bored. In the past five days I seriously considered
a. Studying for the LSAT, doing part time law school or full time if I can get paid for it starting next year.
b. Starting one a part-time post baccalaureate programs that prepares you to go to med school
c. Starting a program to get a principals license that runs in the summers
d. Becoming a Mechanic in my spare time
e. Getting PhD in Educational Research and Statistics and then going back to teaching
f. Becoming a Chartered Financial Analyst
g. Investing in the Forex market and becoming a gigillionaire
And for pockets of very brief fleeting moments
h. Continuing along the teacher trail.

Now this wave of maturity may just be a wave and will pass over soon. Only a couple have gotten married, who everybody knew was going to get married since years ago anyways. My sobriety bend isn't necessarily going to end anytime soon, but there will be a point where I can figure out how to have fun with out being shit faced constantly. And once I get further into the school year I may not have time for this stuff.

If it doesn't, does this mean that I don't like my job? I doubt it. I don't think about any of this stuff during the day, only when I go home after a couple of hours, and a lot on weekends. The day to day teacher stuff is exactly what I thought it would be. Teaching forces me to be come better at all of the things I was weak at before, and in the end it will make me a better person. However, as far as money, which I feel I need a lot of in order to provide my future children with the kind of life I was a able to live, the teaching thing is pretty weak. I can look at a piece of paper and know exactly how much money I am going to be making when I am turning 60, and adjusting for inflation, puts me at about what my dad is getting from his pension now that he is retired.

Also, as far as mental, physical and challenges et al. Teaching can not really provide them more than at most 10 months out of the year, and for little more than 50 hours a week during that time. Once I become really efficient at teaching I know I'll have even more spare time on my hands and during class because the students will be doing the work. I don't know what else I would do with that time, but I already feel like because I spent last summer basically being unemployed and chilling I'm already coming up short as far as what my body is capable of accomplishing.

It might also be my DNA my dad worked a whole bunch of jobs in his early 20's until he settled down with GM in his late thirties. My mom has worked a whole bunch of different jobs, included starting her own company, textile testing technologist for kmart, alterationist for nordstroms, and now, at age 60 + published artist. Maybe its in my DNA to move around, and the actg's are starting to kick in again, after first pushing me to sub in pontiac, go to harvard, and come to nyc.
