So, what do you do when you're bored with the daily grind? Sign yourself up to get into more debt!! Why, that's the answer! No really, how do you figure out what you want to be when you grow up?! When someone figures this out, please let me know (sooner rather than later).
Lately I've been throwing around the idea of going back to school. Specifically, I've been thinking about applying to Grad school to get a master's in Science Educ. Life is strange because even though I got a college degree in the Ed. field, and miss teaching in many ways, I'm not doing it as a career... Why? What am I afraid of? The only reason that comes to mind - is money. When one takes on a teaching job, they go into it knowing that it's not for the money. And yet, the practical side of me (obviously the bigger part) downright refuses to take a job that forces me to live paycheck to paycheck. Mom & Ted recently sent me an article that outlines this "double-edged sword" perfectly: http://www.time.com/time/nation/article/0,8599,1713174,00.html ("How to Make Great Teachers" posted at Time.com). I couldn't have said it better, this article makes me furious & energized at the same time. What is the value of education? How do we show our schools (and children) that we value it?
If I go back into teaching, how can I be sure that I will be compensated for my hard work & dedication to the field? Because in reality, it's not me that get's evaluated for my raise.
