That's what I'll be doing in two weeks.. I started my working career as a teacher, but didn't like it that much as I was teaching smaller kids learning MS Word, Excel and similar tools. Eventually I worked as researcher, finished a PhD and start working as web developer.

But doing crud apps all day got boring pretty fast, and I think my current expertise on web and mobile development will be great for my classes as I'll be teaching older students (MAster's degree). Since I have some freedom on the way I get to teach those students, I'm really looking forward to be really practical (teach them over the command line, etc.), instead of being highly theoretical.

That is exactly what we need in the Education sector I guess. teachers with experience in working on real world products. I completely agree CS overall is very practical field and too much theory should be avoided
