Is it possible to take pride in my work?

Wow, you sure are instrospective.\nThe answer to your question is something you mentioned: "And there is the argument that i am not "really" a worker, i am a student: How can that be.."\n\nWhat you need to understand is that you are NOT a worker. Your pay is merely a way to pay you to stay alive. There is nothing saying that you can't get another job on the side (Tutor, teach, wait on tables, be a part time janitor, ebay..etc). Which is exactly what I recommend.\n\nNow as to the second part of your question: "Am I no better than a janitor?". Absolutely not!! Better would imply superiority and that you are not. You certainly know more math than most janitors but being better is a attribute us human beings do not posses. So no, inherently you are NOT better than the janitor.\n\nIn fact when it comes to brass tacks. The janitor is probably underpaid compared to you when it comes to normalizing your pay against how much you contribute to society with your work.\n\nMost of us have been students and paid our dues so I know where you're coming from. But as long as you have a goal. (And that goal is not to become a professional mathematician) then you are going to make enough money later to make up for the few years of substandard pay. And I honestly don't know how you survive on that pay now. Remember in most countries you don't get paid to go to school.\n\nYou are not a failure! Just don't become a professional student. For god's sake please leave school when you're done.

Hey, what's going on with you girl?  If don't have respect for yourself, then do it.  Otherwise, if you value who you are and how you are, you would not be thinking about doing that.  Just doing do it; that's the worst decision you can ever make in life.  There are lot of good jobs, but don't choose a "job" like that.

Sure!  I mean, why not?  If you feel that you've been sucessfull enough and 'completed' your other professional career then why not move on and accomplish even more?  \n\nIt's what makes humans humans.\n\nAlso, if you can give back to the younger generations, (IE: teaching) all the better!

Perhaps you could create procedures for your successful business, so you can partly delegate the tasks to someone you trust. Then you'd have more time to pursue your passionate career. Good luck!

of course not!!! being proud of who you are and liking who you are doesn't make you arrogant either. It's so important to have that peace with who and what you are. The problem comes in when you have problems with people just because they are different. Embrace diversity. Be proud always of yourself...and be thankful that you are white/black/Indian/brown...because that makes you unique in every why

prob very little but as long as you get something out of it and you bring pleasure to others ain't that being noticed and if you try hard enough sure someone will notice your commitment and hard work good luck

Your pros should be strengths, and your weakensses should also be disguised strengths.\n\nExample:\n\nI'm working on being a little less detail oriented, but producing accurate work is important to me.  Sometimes I spend too long trying to find minor errors.

I think that you might need to seek better teachers. It's true that adoration can lead to pride, if the teacher allows it, but it isn't a universal rule. Teachers are only Students who share.

My standards of success align with old-fashioned notions of wanting to do something well, working hard for that and then feeling the pride that comes with success.  Unfortunately, it seems that the younger faculty members at our school seem to think that they deserve the best and most prestigious positions simply by virtue of who they are and that they should be handed everything on a silver platter because of that.  As far as I'm concerned, there is no pride when you haven't achieved things through your own forces, sweat and tears!\nThis refers to other aspects of life as well.  Anybody who sets a goal, work towards that goal and achieves it, has become successful.  Now, if I could only get myself to apply that philosophy to my diet!
