ParticipantActually no it is not. I have been an ASIC engineer for over 20 years with work at General Instrument, Motorola, 2 startups, IDT and AMCC. I have been in both roles of designer and manager. I also have a few kids as well.
I have faced those same deadline pressures, code release dates, tapeout dates, yada yada. I have seen 1 line of code ruin entire mask sets. So it goes. I have had to patch code in the middle of the night as well.
I also have kids and understand the challenges of raising them. The bottom line is, if you have kids, your teacher will spend more waking time with your kids then you will over a year for most working folks. You may want to call them a glorified babysitter if you want.
For me working a 60 or 70 hour week surrounded by engineers and writing code/running sims/ etc is easier then kids. I think that for 80 or 90% of the engineers out there, the same would be true. So you can talk about the pressures and such, and validate the job in that manner, however I think the teaching job would actually be harder for you. Your skill set of writing code may not necessarly translate to the tedium and patience required of teaching.

ParticipantI am spending it with the kids since the preschool is closed today.
I want to thank every single member of our armed forces past and present.
I apologize for all the american citizens who like to complain how much of an imperialistic, take advantage of every country we can type of society. Funny how they all still live here though and enjoy receiving an education, enjoy being able to practice thier religions, and enjoy being able to do pretty much whatever they please, and earn a good living.
Our country is far from perfect but good or bad I would never give up living here. I don’t hate our country regardless of the corruption of our leadership and marriage to Wall Street.
Thank you to all service men, support staff, military families, deployed or not deployed. Thank you for your bravery and selflessness. My prayers to those who have made the ultimate sacrifice.

ParticipantI would say anybody that has to spend 6 hours a day with alot of children is earning money. To me being a teacher working those hours 9 months a year is A HELL of alot harder then being an engineer and writing code all day.

ParticipantYes….
To summarize perhaps a bit more succintly. The market is manipulated and will continue to be manipulated. What we are left with as a driving force will be interest rates. If our creditors squeeze us and rates run up prices will drop.
