Teaching is a very noble profession, unfortunately it does not pay well. My Mum was a teacher until she retired and I used to be Teaching Assitant (TA) during my Masters at UT. The warmth it provides when students walk up to you and say that they understood the concept that was being taught, is worth all the effort. Imparting knowledge and Mentoring is a god-sent opportunity. Embrace it.
I teach (1) Python and (2)BlockChain as applicable to Supply Chain Management – in a corporate settting to my fellow team members.
