I've one year left of an UG course in TCD, before I decide what happens next. I've always had an interest in teaching, which is why I'm posting here!

I have a BBS and MBS, and I lecture in an Institute of Technology and in one of the smaller Dublin third level colleges (not one of the private ones).

I just finished by MBS in August 2005 and I'm now thinking of a PhD sometime in the next 18 months.

Lecturing rocks by the way!

obviously too many days off have atrophied my keyboard skills because I just accidentally deleted the first post!

I am a lecturer in engineering at AIT been there for almost 10 years with a three year career break teaching at a university in Australia. Its a great place to work and live but the academics at the uni I was in only get 20 days holidays a year!!!! Living here and going to oz for the summer is a workable compromise until I win the lottery.
