>I don’t know if there’s something wrong with me, but as a grad student I hated walking around at the front of class going “I’m a lecturer here” and having the students say “hi lecturer!” It was the least satisfying part of the job. Maybe it feels better if you have the real title.

You didn't like teaching like that. Some people really do, some people don't. Nothing wrong with individual preferences.
