| Introduction | Hi, I'm Mike McGuire. I am an English teacher at a community college in Illinois and I love it. I really do. I love my job. I wasn't always a teacher. In fact, this is just my third year teaching full-time. Before that I taught part-time for a number of years at other colleges, but spent my day hours frittering time away as an IT/management consultant in the business world. Now, don't get me wrong, there's nothing wrong with working in business if it's right for you. It just wasn't right for me. So, I made a change to do what I love—teach. So far, I am a much happier and satisfied person. Drop me a line if you have time. I'm always interested in interesting people. |
