I was a per diem floater in the same junior high school I went to. I sat in the office and made $42.50 a day, and whenever a teacher was absent, I'd substitute. I taught everything from English to auto shop.

I always wanted to be a teacher.

I wanted to be a teacher.

Back in the 1960s, I got a superb education for very little money. The bill for my first year at Harpur College in New York was a few hundred dollars.

The only thing that mattered was what you were to do in life, and it wasn't about money. It was about teaching, or learning.

I never intended to be a teacher. I just like going to school and learning things.

I'm a teacher. My mother was a teacher. I spent 40 years as a teacher.

All I wanted was to be a university teacher.

If I'd stayed at college I would have become a teacher.
