Pavel the Teacher Became a Programmer and Junior Mentor
An athlete and coach, the first type of employment Pavel Zeman sought was in the field of education. He taught physical and technology education classes, as well as computer science. Sadly, he struggled with the education system itself. "Unfortunately, here in our country, children aren’t taught to think independently or be creative. Rather, they just receive tasks over and over again and are trained to become like sheep," he says sadly, describing the teaching approach that convinced him to change fields. He still helps students in his new career, though. Bootcamp trained him to become a programmer and now he’s a junior mentor at Green Fox Academy, where he helps others break into IT.
