I’ve had the nice experience of teaching my younger brother chess and as he made those bad blunders I started to remember when I played the same and made me happy. We like to review his games together and have a laugh at the shit moves and crack jokes like “killing a fly with a bazooka”.
So I would like to know what you guys enjoyed re-living and teaching.
I always had an interest in understanding humans, I find the way their minds work endlessly fascinating.
So I did a lot of study on the subject until one day I parked my old job and trained as a therapist.
After that I got invited to stay on at the college and teach. Been doing that for eight years now, alongside my practice, and I love it.
I spend my days answering questions from people who want to learn, who have chosen to be there and whose goal is to make a difference in the world.
It’s a privilege and a good way to earn a living.
Did you need to take a degree to become a therapist?
That’s one option.
In the UK there’s also a more vocational route, part time study, mixed with practice and focused on doing the job rather than learning about the job.
