I used to teach CS at UCD. Night school. I mostly enjoyed it. I figured the best way to get a better coworker is to build one. It worked to some extent - I ended up hiring some of my better former students and was really pleased with the result.
BUT - at the moment I'm busy trying to get myself recommended for some work. The typists have taken over at the low end. I'm not willing to give away my profession. I'll gladly dig ditches for $5 an hour before I'll do enterprise IT for the $25 I'm being offered (for a lead/management gig no less).
Maybe it is time to get out.
Its not like anybody values my skills anyhow and I'm tired of living hand to mouth on month to month gigs. Think I can buy a house with these working arrangements? Doesn't look like it. Which means I can't sell the really expensive one I own and downsize either. I'm fucked.
