I became a teacher yesterday!

Thanks to encouragement from friends and contracts from large national book wholesale companies, I, along with two other book buyers I trained last year, started teaching our first class of students yesterday for a new vocational training program that teaches people to become professional book buyers in just a matter of weeks.

This is cool to us because this is the ONLY program in existence right now in the USA to train people for this career! Our students, who graduate our course and spend 3 months of training and working for us, are guaranteed a job with any national textbook wholesale company they want. As these jobs bring in around $40K for the entry level, and double that for experienced buyers, you can bet we have quite a long list of people applying. In fact, we are now in the process of writing the course materials for an accredited online university because there is such a demand from people who live outside New Mexico wanting the training that we are likely to just head that direction as it takes less time to teach more people this way. It also allows them to avoid paying expensive air fare and lodging expenses to come here to learn on site.

As the tuition for the classes is currently being paid for by textbook wholesalers, it has been a real pain in the ass, to filter out the lazy S.O.B.’s who just expect money to fall from the sky directly into their pockets instead of working for it, or people who have dreams of making big bucks but don’t even have enough basic skills to hold a conversation to buy books from students or faculty!

One thing for sure, I’m not using the state employment service any more, you should see the types of people they send over for interviews, some of which don’t even know how to read faster than they speak. A few of the students in yesterday's class had advanced degrees but only one didn’t have any college education, but was still pretty bright.

It will be interesting to see just how well my first crop of students do, and it will show just how good our teaching methods and course material are. But I can say this for now, it is a lot more fun than I thought it would be.
