I am thinking about majoring in dance. I have always loved dance and have been taking it for five years now. I want to know what it is like to be a dance teacher or instructor. Is it hard to find a job and what is it like in college when you are majoring in dance. Please if you know anything about becoming a dance teacher or instructor please share your information with me. Thank you:)

I am a soon-to-be college student looking for a dance instructor job at a local dance studio. Is it considered appropriate to contact various dance studios and ask if they are hiring for either a full-time, part-time, or substitue dance teaching position, even if they haven't posted any info saying that they need a new teacher? I don't want to come across as desperate or rude, but I need a job, and I hopefully want to open my own dance studio someday, so I need to start somewhere. My own dance studio isn't hiring students my age - it's preprofessional, and they only want the top teachers.

Well I can play the piano (sort of) and I am taking singing lessons and would hope to get into piano again soon. I am interested in going to school for something in music related. What kind of Job can I get that involves singing and piano or instrument playing that does not involve me become a music teacher or instructor? I need a job in which they would take my degree once I got one. Anything? I am not some big superstar singer (though I wish I could be). please and thank you.

The teacher is a professional young man in his mid 20s. He has wanted to be an educator for his entire life and loves his job and enjoys helping his students. One of his students is an attractive young woman that seems to have taken a liking for her teacher. The teacher is not impervious to her charms but realizes how inappropriate it would be to pursue anything romantic. The student is seventeen years old and one of the teacher's better students. They talk frequently and exchange emails - the discussions are usually about literature (the subject the teacher teaches is English) but occasionally veer into the personal department. The teacher also occasionally meets with the student outside of class to help her work on an essay she is writing. They meet once or twice a week at a coffee shop. The student and teacher have not (yet) done anything of a sexual nature but they do have physical contact. This contact is mostly things like hugs, playful touching and hand holding. The teacher realizes that having this close of a relationship with a student is not perfect but enjoys spending time with the student and being of assistance. Almost all of the out of school contact is initiated by the student. The student flirts with the teacher frequently - the instructor tries his hardest not to flirt back and only smiles and looks away when receiving attention. The teacher is not sure how to proceed as earlier this week the student kissed him on the lips when they were leaving after working on her essay. The teacher told her they shouldn't at first but after a little bit returned her kisses. They kissed outside his car for several minutes before going their separate ways. They have seen one another in class since and been professional but there is a lot of romantic tension between the two. Their emails are becoming more and more personal and romantic in nature and the teacher is losing his resolve to refuse the advances. What should the teacher do in this situation. He cannot go to administration because he has already acted somewhat improperly. The student is not immature or troublesome and would not do anything to reveal the indiscretions. Is it wrong for the teacher to continue the relationship and/or escalate the relationship? ADDITIONAL DETAILS/RESPONSES: The teacher is not "confused, behaviorally stunted". This is the first and only incident of such behavior. And it is not as if the teacher is chasing anyone. The teacher has repeatedly turned down the student and not acted on cues/hints. He is not a p********e pursuing his young students. The teacher has been in numerous relationships with attractive women of his own age. This is not the norm nor is it a romantic relationship. Nothing has gone on physically beyond the one kiss. The young woman is a brilliant student who is nothing like one of Tiger Woods' mistresses. She is a tremendous student and writer who came to the teacher for advice because of their shared passion for writing and literature. She is not a whore looking for attention - she is a well raised, articulate, smart young woman. The student cares a lot about the teacher and would never intentionally do anything to harm him. The teacher has not had sexual intercourse or comm The final detail should read: The teacher has not had sexual intercourse or committed any sexual acts of any type with the student. The only thing of a romantic nature is the one kiss. And regardless if anything happened or not the age of consent in the state that the teacher and student reside in is 16. @Tuesday The teacher is not dating the student. No where in the question did it say that and in no way shape or form are the student and teacher dating. They are nothing more than friends. There is perhaps maybe light flirting that is involved in their interaction. The student is not at all the teacher's girlfriend. I honestly have no idea why you would misread the question that much. The coffee shop meetings are not clandestine dates. They are simply for the student to show the teacher any changes she has made to the essay she is working on. The meetings take no more than an hour. They look over the paper for about a half hour and chat for another half hour and then finish up. The emails are not usually overly flirtatious. Mostly it is just a back and forth about a novel or film or friendly discussion of day to day activities. The teacher is not a predator as you seem to think.

The teacher is a professional young man in his mid 20s. He has wanted to be an educator for his entire life and loves his job and enjoys helping his students. One of his students is an attractive young woman that seems to have taken a liking for her teacher. The teacher is not impervious to her charms but realizes how inappropriate it would be to pursue anything romantic. Still there is chemistry between the two and it is difficult for them to resist. The student is seventeen years old and one of the teacher's better students. She is a smart, sweet, and beautiful young woman. They talk frequently and exchange emails - the discussions are usually about literature (the subject the teacher teaches is English) but occasionally veer into the personal department. The teacher also occasionally meets with the student outside of class to help her work on an essay she is writing. They meet once or twice a week at a coffee shop. The student and teacher have not (yet) done anything of a sexual nature but they do often have physical contact. This contact is mostly things like hugs, playful touching and hand holding. Recently they have become more physical but not sexual. The teacher realizes that having this close of a relationship with a student is not perfect but enjoys spending time with the student and being of assistance. The student flirts with the teacher frequently - the instructor tries his hardest not to flirt back and only smiles and looks away when receiving attention. The teacher does like the student and shows her this in many ways. The student decided to take a chance and kiss her teacher when they were leaving the starbucks. The teacher told her they shouldn't at first but after a little bit returned her kisses. They kissed outside his car for several minutes before going their separate ways. They have seen one another in class since and been professional but there is a lot of romantic tension between the two. Their emails are becoming more and more personal and romantic in nature and the teacher is losing his resolve to refuse the advances. The teacher has started to become much more romantic in his emails to her. The teacher and student had their usual coffee tonight and things went further than last time. Again they were touchy feely and the teacher started to play with the student's hair and told her she was beautiful. The student was overjoyed to hear this and they talked and flirted for close to two hours. When they left they kissed each other again and proceeded to make out for close to twenty minutes in the teacher's jeep. The student wants to see the teacher again and is falling for him. The teacher clearly likes the student but it not sure if he should proceed. How can the student make the teacher realize they are meant to be and have him escalate things further? The student would never get the teacher in trouble and has not mentioned this to any of her friends.

I would like to be a military pilot, but I realized that since I have asthma, I will likely be disqualified (though there is still a chance). I don't want to be an airliner pilot, because the pay and lifestyle are just terrible, I hear. I also don't want to spend half of every month away for the rest of my life. I'm not a very good teacher, so I wouldn't wanna become an instructor. What jobs are out there? How does one become a civilian test pilot?

I imagine being a commercial pilot is a fun job. Obviously not. I've seen several people on this page just complaning about being pilots and urging pilot hopefuls to stay away from the career field. It's apparently not the best money in the world. I heard it's one of the most stressful jobs. And If you pilots hate your jobs so much (at least thats the vibe I'm getting but correct me if I'm wrong) why did you decide to be pilots?

So I'm taking another year off from school and my mom told me I should do one of those jobs you can only really enjoy when you're single, like being an au pair or working on a cruise ship etc. Does anyone know of a good place to look for jobs like that/any suggestions of jobs to look into?

I will be graduating in May and I am searching through job postings online, and everything says that you should have years of experience for certain positions. The only things I seem to qualify for are internships that don't pay well, or pro bono "just for experience" work.
