I became a teacher in software engineering when I was 46.
In our country there have been and still are lots of vacancies for technical teachers.
I find it very fullfilling to work with young persons (students) and it is easy to keep up to date with new software eng. techniques because you are in an environment with som many technical persons (colleagues, students, workfield)
- rschachte 5y agoWas it a massive pay cut?
- bovermyer 5y agoI can't speak for the original commenter, but my dad is a software engineering dean with decades of experience. Yes, it's a massive pay cut.
- datavirtue 5y agoMost certainly. But all the stress was also cut. There is very little stress in academia. Most of it is caused by the administration.
- jacknews 5y ago> There is very little stress in academia. Are you sure about that? It seems to me the smaller the community and fewer the resources, the more 'intimate' the competition. Stories of feuds over parking spaces abound.
- wpietri 5y agoI suspect that depends a lot on location. A friend moved to Europe and software dev salaries there haven't undergone the massive rise we see in the US over the last 30 years.
