I am sorry that this is not really poltics per se, but I like the intellgence I read here, even if I disagree with the ideas.

I am thinking of quitting my job and joining the navy. I am 34, and have been a second grade teacher for 7 years ( well third, kindergarten too some years).

The reasons being:

I am stuck in a rut. I am bored shitless. I tend to come home and do nothing.

I am growing to hate my job. For the past couple of years teaching is not as importand as how the classroom looks to the powers that be. As long as the decorations are changed, and the room has pretty pictures, the bossess are happy.

I am getting older and sitting in a room all day for the rest of my life is getting me down. I want to get out and experience more of the world.

I want to defend my nation that gave me so much.

I lost 40lbs over the summer ( since may) and I feel stronger, and I want to do more physical things than standing up with chalk in my hands.

I am growing restless. This may be the last time I can just change my life. I can always come back to teaching when I am out of the Navy. You dont loose your time.

They can pay my student loans!!!!!

I will be an officer due to my degrees.

Plus a few other minor, silly reasons like comradiere, doing something different, and yes, even excitment.

Plus a great love for the sea.

Did I mention I am growing to hate my job?
