Right, so, let's see, mmm, 
My contract finishes end of June. There are about 100 lecturers that are going to be unemployed in Merseyside, as far as I know. The chances of getting a teaching job, aren't too good, at least for now.
I can try and apply for any other job, at the end of the day, I may get a job in a call centre and become just on more of these people you phone for help and you don't understand s*** of what they say
(okay, that was extremely rude considering I'm a foreign, but I'm not deleting it, I feel the need to be a bad girl, right now)
Or, on the other side, I can start giving private tuition (in groups). Actually this was not my idea, my students were sooo upset that there will be no more art classes provided by the college, that they want to "hire" me.
I have at least 35 students that are very keen to pay me to continue teaching them Art. And they would be triled to paint for pleasure , with no portfolios (accreditation) attached.
I'm sure this number will raise quickly as I didn't have this conversation with half of them yet.
I could dedicate more time to painting, I could try and organise exhibitions.
Now the dilemma:
What do I want?
Would I get enough money to pay the bills?
Do I want all the "harassment" of being self employed?
Or do I want a 9 to 5 job, that I will not bring home?
I can't believe I'm so confused, I can smell something burning...
my brains!!
What would you do?
