Default Re: Things that bother you about work...

I'm with Chris:

I dislike the 'business and education' balance. And I dislike being freelance. . . we're in the 'summer hole' in Germany and that means less money.

I could complain about the German working culture, but I don't think the U.S. would be that much different. At least, not in a large organization ("As long as the paperwork is filled out.") But, if I had to list just ONE complaint it'd be that (many, but not all) students assume that--because they're paying for a 'service'--that English will be pumped into their heads if they just sit at the 'pump' long enough. I'm game to be crazy and motivational. . . but they could meet me halfway, right?
