Is everybody just phoning it in for a boss that just needs you to do busy work?

Yes! Self-employed, four-day work weeks, 4-6 hours a day. Enough money to be comfortable and to put some away for later. I have to clean the place by myself on that weekday off, but that's fine. Cathartic even.

May I ask what you do?

[-] Underwaterbob@lemm.ee 3 points 6 months ago

I'm an ESL instructor in South Korea. My situation did not happen overnight. I'd worked in quite a few different private and public schools before this opportunity presented itself.

Ah, cool. Thank you for sharing. I hope your situation continues for as long as you like/need it to. 🙂👍

[-] Underwaterbob@lemm.ee 1 points 6 months ago

Teaching is very rewarding, but I'd be lying if I didn't say that some days I really want to never see a child again.

Same thing being a parent, in all honesty.
