Party boy Georg. In 1805 Ohm enrolled into the University of Erlangen where he became more interested in his social life rather than his school life. When Ohm’s father found this out he wasn’t too happy because he never had the chance to further his education in a college like Georg. His father then made Ohm leave the university after only three semesters, where he was sent to Switzerland where he took up a teaching position in mathematics in the school of Gottstadt bei Nydau. 



 Schools and Jobs.   When Professor Karl Christian von Langsdorf had left the University of Erlangen he advised Ohm to continue his  mathematical studies on his own. Ohm took his advice and left this teaching position in March 1809 to become a private tutor at       Neuchâtel for the next two years then in April of 1811 he returned to the University of Erlangen. His private studies lead him to receive a doctrine from Erlangen on October 25 on 1811 there after he joined the mathematic staff as a lecturer. After only three semesters he gave up his job as a lecturer, he thought that he could not attain a better status at the university as he lived in poverty. Then, the Bavarian government offered him a teaching position as a mathematics and physics teacher at a poor school in Bamberg in January of 1813. He was very unhappy with his position and therefore started to write an elementary book on the subject of geometry. After working in Bamberg for three years it was shut down they then send him to yet another overcrowded school in Bamberg, where he would soon be offered a teaching position as a mathematics and physics teacher at the Jesuit Gymnasium of Cologne, which was much nicer than any other school he had previously taught at..soon after he started his experiments in the schools physics laboratory.

As we have previously known, Ohm was at the Jesuit Gymnasium of Cologne when he began his publications in the year 1825. There he was given a year off where he could concentrate on his research and he only could receive less than a half pay he was still able to spend a year in Berlin working on his publications. Ohm believed that his publications would lead him to receive an offer of at a university before having to return to Cologne but by the time he was due to begin his teaching there he was still without and offer.
