How do you deal with socialising in and out of academia? It seems a big problem for me because I often get in a situation that my brain completely freezes when people surrounded me are over 3. I am comfortable and outgoing (may chatty) when this number less and equal to 3. I think it is a problem I should overcome cuz I'd like to find a job outside the academia, given that finding a job can associates a person's like-ability. Please help me, many thanks.

It's interesting that the number three is the cut-off for your comfort level in conversation. Perhaps you could work with someone on that, it may be that you need to focus on talking to one person at a time and not be intimidated by what you must sense as an audience. You're right that it's good to work on that issue, as being personable and comfortable around people is generally a good trait to have in corporate life.

I won’t have any problem meeting my hourly so I’m starting to think I’m being underpaid. I’ve been reading on here that not meeting

Would love a thread of different districts that offer a virtual academy. I’m looking for a change, preferably outside California.

So I’m not looking for companies that offer a virtual education, where they pay you minimum wage. Thank you!

So back in July I went out for a new position at my small company that was rapidly expanding (Account Manager). Was notified that I didn't get the full promotion but was told instead that I was still moving up and was going to be Customer Service/Account Manager Support. The new Account Manager had no customer service experience within our niche industry. I instead had to help help him with all customer service issues.

I feel like I am being taken advantage of. ADVISE APPRECIATED.

I’m quitting my job tomorrow morning. I don’t have a new job lined up. I’m scared, but also excited? I’ve felt under utilized for months, and haven’t had a promotion after two years. I never take risks like this, but life is too short. Is this a bad choice?
