While Jones's passion may lie in coldcocking baddies and unearthing various shiny things, it obviously doesn't pay the bills. So Jones finds himself slumming it as a teacher until the next expedition to some remote treasure trove. While seemingly less glamorous, it may be just as dangerous due to the potentially career-ending coed hotties that are constantly vying for Jones€™s attention. Jones charm and wittiness serve him well in the classroom and, since we've already established that Archaeology requires serious brainpower, we€™re confident Dr. Jones knows what he's talking about. The problem doesn't lie in Dr. Jones' command of the material but rather his commitment to teaching. In The Last Crusade, Jones returns to school after a sabbatical that saw him track down the Cross of Coronado, blow up a ship and float around in the middle of the ocean for a while. All the while his students are freaking out about exams. When Jones returns does he do everything in his power to get his students back on track? No. The guy literally jumps out of a window to escape. Granted, circumnavigating the globe and going on improbable adventures seems a lot more appealing than teaching a bunch of privileged squares, but a teacher has certain responsibilities. Responsibilities that Dr. Jones skirts on a regular basis, proving that his aptitude as an educator is questionable at best.
