I would think so. Do you enjoy it? One part of the job I didn't see coming when I signed up is that schoolkids from all over the province are brought in by the truckload in May and June, and we have to deliver curriculum-linked programs. Me, I don't much like kids. But grades 5-8 can be the best years to work with on the site. They are curious and excited, and don't know yet that they're supposed to be too cool too care. And if they're unruly, well, I always save the blacksmith shop for last so I can use it as a threat. "Any more of that, and no one sees the blacksmith shop!!" That straightens 'em out.
