Good learning curve
I am an assistant lecturer at UP, its not a permanent job. I work 2 days per week, the nice thing about the job is that most of the time I work independently and I don't work long hours. But in all honestly, its one of those jobs I do to have some income at the end of month, its not what I want to see myself doing say in about 2 years time. My passion is using technology to solve finance problems or to bring tech solutions to a problem, in a Quantitative finance space. I hope one day I get an opportunity even if its just a year.
Pros: Great stepping stone for being appointed permanent to a lecturing position
Cons: Too much marking

Friendly work environment
The University of Pretoria Chemistry department is veryworker friendly and there is great equality within the department. The department offers everyone a chance to learn within their respective disciplines and I enjoyed learning new things in a work environment since this was my first job. I had a very good relationship withmy colleagues and we are trained to support each other at all times, thus making the work environment friendly, energetic and enjoyable. There were some challenging aspects such which I encountered from time to time with students, but this was mainly errors students were making in the laboratory that could put the safety of other students and theirs at risk.
Pros: Great opportunity for confidence boost
Cons: Student behavior
