Hmm.
I recently recovered from a sysadmin gig, and became a full time teacher 
at Mid Sweden University again.
I have seven years experience in education, and I get $12.50/hr with 35% 
income tax. My 2-room apartment cost $400/month, and gasoline is at 
$3.42/gallon.

Do you happen to know if they need someone who can teach the students 
swedish media law, typography or basic journalism in NJ?  :-)
