Been thinking about teaching again since my wife lost her job and we need a reliable income, and assuming I could teach full time (unlikely when you’re an adjunct) I could *maybe* make $50k a year before taxes. So that would just about cover our cost of living assuming we don’t eat.
The last five years for me have been very difficult for my mental health in terms of being an artist. I’m having a lot of doubts, and I’m having a hard time finding the inclination to keep making art. Is anyone else feeling the same way and what has helped?
