Sometimes ridiculous fact about my job

[glowingfish]

I know it is somewhat rude to talk about money and finances, but I want to share this information to show what we are working with!

Anyway, so I work online teaching English in one on one classes. This can be pretty fun, and by the hour, I get paid sufficiently. The problem is that because I only have classes when students want them, I have big gaps in my schedule.

Today I had two classes, from 6 PM to 8 PM my time.

For working these two classes, I more or less got enough money to pay for my grocery bill for a week. *depending on how greedy and fancy I get.

That is almost ridiculous. It is more ridiculous that to pay for rent or anything like that, I would have to work a full schedule and then still might not even qualify.

Oof. My family is full of teachers, so I know it's rarely a job to get rich in, but that's fairly ridiculous as you say...

It is. Of course, I chose to do this, rather than try to work at a more settled jobs. If I was actually teaching a regular schedule at a university or community college, I would be making 3-5 times more money with normal hours...but would not have the freedom I have.
