The State of the CJ

Been meaning to post something like this for a while now. I've got a lot of posts running around in my head that I could type out. Maybe I will

Probably a wise choice. I did get that degree, but already had a job (teaching English at a community college). What was going to be your subfield?

[cjtremlett]

Sociolinguistics. It's the language and gender stuff that I'm most interested in.

Hoping to get the teaching at a community college type of job this upcoming year. Or something. I've got an MA in TESOL, and tons of experience teaching writing.

I'm sorry to hear that CJ. Here's to landing somewhere new and exciting. :)

Sorry to hear that. I know you've already put a lot of work into your thesis research. Its hard to put a lot of effort and time into something and then have to admit that its no longer a path that works for you. Still, it often is better to have the wherewithall to make a change when you come to that realization than try to continue following a path that is no longer for you. Avoids a lot of unnecessary frustration. You've got the kind of experience that gives you options and this is a good thing. Hopefully where-ever you land will work better for you.
