Ask HN: Anyone know of any opportunities in the Bay Area for a good teacher?
I've been working as a software developer for 2 years now after finishing my CS degree, and frankly it's not my thing. I love programming! But I hate working in an office on a computer all day, 8+ hours a day.
I've been teaching a free class in Boston for about 9 months for fun, focused on teaching Python to beginners and experienced programmers, but I'm also fluent in HTML/CSS/JS/Ruby, and I've spent plenty of time with a variety of other languages/frameworks which I would not say I am proficient in.
I'm very good at teaching what I know to others. And I love it.
I've been wanting to move to SF, but it's so expensive and I would have to take a new engineering job, which I would do almost anything to avoid.
I'm sure that somewhere within the varied landscape of the tech community out there, there must be reasonably well-paying opportunities for decent engineers who like communicating and teaching better than sitting at a desk doing development all day.
I'm open to any and all suggestions! Thanks.

- aerovistae 12y agoI've considered it, but that comes back to being on a computer all day on my own. I want to be interacting with people directly. :)
