Warden
I supervise and manage a state prison.

Teaching was actually great preparation for this role. I believe that if you're a good teacher, you can be a good warden. My job is to lead, guide, and uphold order—all things that a teaching background prepares you for.
"You've never worked in a prison before, so you can't be a good warden. You don't know how to do it."
