"You may have gathered from all of this that I am not encouraging people to try to be writers. Well, I can't. You hate to see a nice young person run up to the edge of a cliff and jump off, you know. On the other hand, it is awfully nice to know that some people are just as nutty and just as determined to jump off the cliff as you are. You just hope they realize what they're in for."
- Ursula K. Le Guin
That's how I feel about teaching. Isn't it funny that we work in a profession that we would not recommend to others?
