In the spring of 2006, following a decade of misfires at various teaching jobs, a closet full of college degrees, and an ugly stint in state government, the author began serving as an instructor for the largest private Driver's Ed company in Oregon. He thought for sure this was it -- a job that really fit who he was, the launching of a career that would last until he was ready to put the brakes on his working life! The author was going to learn all about the world of teenagers while having a blast doing it. Well, not exactly. Instead, over the next five months Mr Sullivan learned more than he thought possible about poorly maintained cars, calm kids with angry parents, inefficient efficiency drives, scheduling blunders, and suburban angst. He also learned a few things about mustaches.
