Plumbing lecture jobs any good

[Matt0029]

Is being a plumbing lecture really as bad a job as some say. I am still keen to give it a go. See them advertised quiet abit. Has anyone done it before?

Other than pay why is it supposed to be bad? Can't remember his moniker but there was a regular member here that used to lecture full time I think, he might pick up.

The pay at one around here is decent 35 to 38k

Just heard of having to pass even the distributive ones etc. I have always fancied it though at some point

Why not, you seem to be a natural. You communicate concepts well and like answering queries and questions here and putting your knowledge to good use.

If I remember correctly I think Chris Watkins who used to be on here was a lecturer.

You asked about this a few years ago. The answers from then might still be helpful:

Teaching/lecturing seems to me to be like many professions and trades. Outsider think it's an easy and well-paid life. Insiders think it's an underpaid grind and want out.
