I...I have fond memories of so many teachers myself. ITs a weird coincidence that I had similar Math teachers in school, Junior college and Senior college. All three were men, very very good at their profession, very very strict, rude and almost psychotic. In sipte of these things, they were the best teachers I could find. Maybe I need to give a card to my teachers at school.<BR/><BR/>I wanted to do a Ph.D. and become a teacher. What is stopping me is that Ph.D. in IT can take a long long time (4-5 years or more) and all that time without a source of income is really difficult.
