Naw, I dropped out of scouts when I was like 14 or 15. I was too busy working on cars and chasing women
I haven't competed against any eagle scouts for a job opening, so I can't say I really regret it *shrugs*

Even part time maybe?
Im sorry but I dont know a single person around here that does your type of job and makes anything close to that amount.
I have taught Networking (WinNT4 MCSE) coursework for University of Phoenix, but unfortunatly, they have gone with computer instruction classes. CBT's and what-not. Even with a part-time job at an accredited University demands at least a BS in your perspective field, preferably a Master's. I am a Technology Trainer for the FAA as a contractor, but contract work isn't forever. As I have found out. 6 years and I have hardly anything to show for it.
As for getting paid what I do, that is government contract pay when you are a trainer. For any of you govt dudes out there, it is equal to a GS13 level of pay.

Slacker, I did the whole scout thing, as a kid. Heck it got me a stripe when I joined the military.

I once ate a brownie....mom
well there is good news on the horizon...I got called in today, and found out they extended my contract through the fall, and after that I will be teaching again. Not a bad thing, I get to revamp the current coursework and write it for current technology. NT4.0=out Win2K and 2k3=in
works for me! So no need to get a new position, at least for another 6 months.
