Business Outlook

Pros

Working with young college students is always a great feeling; as most are anxious to learn what you have to teach. Teaching different course work; not in a classroom environment.

Cons

late hours ; by the time you commute its 10:30pm; only 1.5 hr per day. the rate of pay is mediocre (not bad) but the amount of hours is horrible. Can't live off this income or anywhere near it. Hope you like working 3 jobs, cause this one job isn't significant enough to pay bills.
