    History because history always repeats itself. Human nature never changes so throughout time you will see both the good and bad repeated over and over again. If you think the reality of today is special or new you just haven’t studied history. Bet you don’t know that almost every new advance in technology was initially bashed as “that will never be popular” until it became the standard

      I actually did know this.

      But yes, history is important. Very nice response.

    History

    It’s due to my passion for the subject and hope that I could cultivate the tools for critical thinking in young minds.

    That being said I’d be terrible at it.

    -First day of School

    -Students: Good morning MisterNeon.

    -Me: Cram it you little shits! Today I’m going to teach y’all why Mexico is cool. Anybody who says the words “aliens” or “giants” is getting thrown through a window.

    Website development, because I’m very experienced and good at it. Or wilderness exploration and survival, for the same reason.

    Assuming I’m given time to brush up on it, math probably. Algebra, Geometry, and Trig. I was good at those and enjoyed tutoring math when I was in college. Calculus is awesome but I’m too dumb to teach that to anyone.

    Media competency and how technology works. Because that includes things I’m good at, and it’s desperately needed.

    Finance, credit, investing, retirement, savings. How money works. I’ve worked with way too many younger folks that don’t know anything about finance.

      I had that opportunity once. But

      “Nah, I want to get a feel for the market first, ya know? That’s why I’m investing short-term for now – I’ll do long-term later.”

      VT ain’t as hip as Nvidia options, eh?

        I grew up around finance people. I recall one guy at church, who used to run the Bank of NY, telling a bunch if us after the 1987 crash that he didn’t get why so many people under 65 were freaking out as their investments weren’t getting cashed in any time soon. It gave me perspective on how that race is run.

    Traditional subject?

    Physics, but applicable physics. Not just the boring memorization of formulae to do math with. Stress on beams like you might calculate for a building structure. Heat generated on a electrical transmission wire causing it to sag. How thrust and mass interact to put a satellite in orbit. Stuff that could be applied in a job or just be really interesting to figure out.
