I feel quite ashamed of being an English teacher too. Whenever I meet someone at a party I always say I'm a software engineer, even though I know that's not really true.
When I write my resume I just don't write the months on so it appears I was working at the companies for 1 year instead of 2-6 months. That way I can claim I wasn't an English teacher.

A good way to keep your cashflow positive is to get contracts and outsource them. You can email me if you need a hand as I am also a software engineer, I could be of help.
- xevb3k 8y agoThere’s no shame in being an English teacher. I’ll be honest, you’re probably providing more valuing teaching English than half the software engineers at most startups.
