Although I don't know what it's like to do teaching full time, I know that I've really enjoyed my occasional day gigs as a 'visiting professional' (ha) who talks about pair programming and great software development practices.

Then again, it may be that you want to move into a totally different field .. I sometimes see situations where folks exchange jobs for a few days, and some of those jobs can be pretty cool.

Dealing with pressure is never easy. It could be that you just need to change your place of work, that you're already in the right field.

Whatever it is you end up doing, good luck!

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
