Does anyone else consider his boss a pathological liar? This one has a suitcase full of false promises about better working conditions and raising salaries. Honestly, I was satisfied with my salary, I have some other sources for making money, I am active on many different fields! So, today I had to shake hands with that boss - for good! I am very glad not to work for him anymore! He is involved with some shady business and that is not good for the school principal. But this post is not about him - it is about me!
I am construction engineer and when I finished my college, I started to work and had few disappointments. Maybe I was just a good student but bad engineer. But I was trying and had few bosses of which one was a drunker, one was a cheater and one was something like a slave master. The last one still owes me three monthly salaries. It is very bad situation in my country to get a decent job. There are much better conditions for physical workers than for educated ones. So, educated people are intensively leaving Croatia, and one day there will not be any doctors, lawyers, architects or scientists here!
But I was great as a teacher!
Kids love me because I am not traditional and conventional math teacher! They listen to me and they understand me better than other teachers. I improved their knowledge and I am proud of it! So, why did I lose my job? My boss told me the reasons which I am considering false reasons, because I know why I actually got fired!
False reasons for losing my job
So, the principal (my boss) told me that I can't work in his school anymore because, as an engineer, I have not education for teaching, but I have extra course for teachers. The law says that I can work only in schools for construction technicians. But this law is in effect for two years and nobody told me that I could lose my job because of it!
And he told me that he wants older teacher for those kids because he claims that math can not be learned through fun!
True reasons for losing my job
In this system, someone is bothered by the fact that young people really know math.
Maybe I should give more bad grades or be unfair to kids, I don't know, they have really shown great knowledge and in other subjects where math knowledge is necessary.
And why would anyone hire a rapper as a teacher?
Yes, I have this band for sixteen years, we act revolutionary, sometimes ruthless, rough and vulgar! But I've lived this "double life" and nobody cared. We just released our new album and it is quiet successful in it's start, but maybe some parents, or other teachers heard a wrong song from the album? I will never know and I don't care! It is over now!
The reasons why I am not sorry
First of all, I am very resourceful man and I can find a new job easily. I can work many different things with my brain or my hands, I feel no shame for working things that are below my education. It is very hard in Croatia to get a normal job, but I am type of person that can knock on hundred doors in a day and I am very communicative. There is always smile on my face and bad things just can not kill my spirit!
Second, I will have more free time next few weeks, so I can devote myself to studying about cryptocurrencies, I really see future in this and I have some savings which I can invest, but I have to be careful about that. So I read on Steemit many posts about trading and mining. I must educate myself more and I appreciate any advice I can get from more experienced people.
Third, my album is out, I need to promote it. I will have more time for concerts and hanging with my band. I am music producer for sixteen years and I have a lot of experience with digital audio workstations (DAW) and audio equipment. I have a lot of components and equipment for music recording and producing and I consider to open my own recording studio, so I can work what I really love the rest of my life. But I must make good business and financial plan. I will post more details about it on Steemit very soon.
Fourth, I can escape from this country and find my future somewhere else, as many young people did. I am adjustable, learning fast and If I was smarter, I would do that many years ago. I really love my country, but, one day, if I will have my own children, I don't want them to grow in this chaos. Any job offers from foreign countries are welcomed.
Fifth, I still can try to find an extremely rich businesswoman and merry her, so I can be a househusband and invest my knowledge and experience in raising the children and do some hard housework.
