No, no, it didn't sound rude. I just realised I had forgot to mention the things I had put into my resume, so I did so in my edit.

I have considered becoming a teacher, but was ineligible for university at the end of year 12, so that will have to come further down the track.

In my volunteer work at the school, I became coldly aware of the paranoia of parents, so from now on I'm being very careful around the kids to make sure they don't like me too much. A wonderful little boy, who became very good friends with me, kept asking his mum if I could come over and play, and she wasn't very happy about a stranger meaning so much to her son, so now I have to take a break from my volunteer work and come back as a more austere figure of authority. It'll be painful, but I don't want a lawsuit. :P

Are there actually specific laws in place with specific regards to MEN working in child-related employment? Or is there just informal paranoia that forces people to treat males differently?
