Every summer, I regret that I didn't become a college teacher. Such a sweet life! With all that vacation time! You'll never get me to believe that being a tenured professor at a good college is anything but Heaven on earth.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I had left teaching, which I enjoyed, because I realized I couldn't get tenure at a research university.
My parents are both teachers, so we had the summers off.
I loved teaching. It was my world. I only left because I was overwhelmed with three careers - teaching, writing, and my family.
If I'd stayed at college I would have become a teacher.
When I was young, I didn't like going to school, but I loved my dad. He was my professor.
When I found out that I had won the MacArthur Fellowship, I had been a professor at Carnegie Mellon for a week. I probably shouldn't be saying this on TV, but I stopped worrying about tenure.
I hope to become a better teacher. I love teaching.
I kicked college nostalgia in my late 20s. As much as I loved college and treasure the memories, I no longer want to go back.
No, I never went to college. Always regretted it, always envied people who did.
I never intended to be a teacher. I just like going to school and learning things.
