Confessions of an Addict.
Frick, Elizabeth
Phi Delta Kappan, v78 n7 p572-74 Mar 1997
A former English teacher who lectures part-time at several colleges (with miserable pay and no benefits, seniority, or security) was determined to free herself from teaching. In recovery, she has plunged into lucrative business writing and editing, has weaned herself from faculty meetings and "excessive" caring, and is now a high-paid corporate trainer. (MLH)
