Re: So I got a job, but I'm meh about it.

Dude, same. It really sucks to be in a situation like this, but we all need money to pay the rent. And groceries. Maybe gas/a bus pass. So long as you're not complaining about it constantly, yer gud.

The point is, you're definitely not alone in feeling disappointed about having to settle for a job not in your field and way below you capabilities. Doesn't make it suck any less. But at least you're bringing home the bread while finding something better, so it's not a total waste of time(???).

In case you're looking for ways to make it less shitty (oh, just say it's unsolicited advice, we all know it), what's worked for me is I tried really hard to find things that will be great practice for when I do teach so I can focus on honing those skills. Things like reading body language in lots of people at the same time, remembering names, diction on the fly for managing situations (good and bad), and diplomacy and phrasing in discussions with supervisors (especially if I'm trying to steer them toward something I really want to change because I think a method I have will be most successful so I reeeeally want them to pick me).
