Re: Work life queries
Academia is a full-time profession. I leave at 7:30 or 8:00 depending upon the class and come back home by 6:30-7:00. As a full-time faculty, I am required to spend altogether eight hours on campus. Sometimes, I leave at 2:00 and get back by 10:00 in the evening, again depends on my schedule for that day.
I bring work home especially when it comes to marking papers, checking assignments or doing some research for the lectures.
I had another job as an editor on the sidelines but had to give up due to the hectic schedule and heavy traffic on the roads. Somehow, I liked that job because I never brought anything home.
