An NYTimes article about Mr. Obama's teaching experience in UChicago Law School really made me believe that he IS smart. He knows how to test ideas with a "lay low" attitude and to be safe. He got the right place---university classrooms.
It is good to think loud and make others hear your belief such as "I have a dream..." by Dr. King. The place where you can do this is sexy. I have been tangoing with many great opportunities presented in my life and trial with different career path but I found the road sign at all crossings pointing to the same direction---classrooms.
Dr. Zhan Gao, the CEO of www.haoyisheng.com, a very wise and successful entrepreneur told me that all routines are tedious, nobody would enjoy it if working like a machine, however the job satisfaction really came from the impact you would make after completing the routine work. I agree with him.
I can imagine myself loving the interaction with students and facilitating debates over controversial topics. No moments will be tedious with a career you deem as an essential part of life itself. It is not something you pay your labor to earn a living. It is the way of living, a smart way.
