Conversely, teaching microbiology labs has hands down been the only job that I've actually enjoyed and took pride in. Grading sucks and is the most tedious and boring part of the job, but that's really my only complaint about it, other than the pay. My wife makes more than me, which isn't a problem in principle, but an extra 20k a year would help a lot. I was applying for jobs with salaries from 70-90k, and is a reasonable expectation for my degree in Boston/Cambridge
