    BAs in Philosophy & Psychology. My husband has a degree in Computer Science and is working on an Elementary Ed degree. He wants to teach kindergarten because he thinks it'll be easy, fun and rewarding. Plus we'll have summers off to travel. My goal is to travel around the world as much as we possibly can. I'm a homemaker & sometimes freelance writer for top producing realtors... I help with their blogs. I also write creatively and would like to publish a novel.
  • I spent've spent a while toddling about the education system. Ended up with a BA in English and Education, a Post-grad Diploma in Teaching and a Masters in Management.

    I actually really like learning so I'm sure I'll keep doing it as time and finances allow...

    My next goal is a fundraising institute qualification if I can manage to get work to pay for it!

    Sorry to double post but just wanted to pick up on the 'easy, fun, rewarding' thing. I was a secondary teacher, my mum taught five year olds... it's really not easy at any age group, I think.

    Working with kids can be fun and rewarding but it can also be the most stressful, draining and frustrating thing ever. I'd suggest he spend some time observing in a kindergarten (if he can) and having in depth talks with early childhood teachers to make sure it's a career he's likely to be happy with.

    Lol. Yes, we've had this discussion often. He has spent time in observation in classrooms already. He also has 2 nieces and a nephew he helped raise so he thinks he knows what he's getting into... I'm still not so sure. He seems to have patience with kids that I don't have... maybe it'll work. I hope so.

    AS Medical Assisting (found out pay isn't great in this area)
    ^This.
    Working on a BS in Management. Think "people management", not "business management". Plus I think it's funny that in a few months I can put on my resume I have a "BS" in Management.

    Working with the kids is the fun part. It is everything else that can make the job stressful. This includes politics, administration, parents, paperwork, special needs within a gen Ed setting (love it but extra work and challenges), planning, prep, assessment demands, developing portfolios, committees, meetings, paperwork (repeated for emphasis), teams, working with assistants that may or may not have enough training, keeping up with professional development and more! It's not an 8-3 job and while you do get summers off, part of it will be spent in professional development and getting ready for the new year, especially the years where you change grade levels or the curriculum has changes. If he thinks he would love the job and is passionate about it, go for it. Easy--not so much. Also keep in mind that there really isn't a teacher shortage. He should go in this with his eyes wide open and if his heart is set on it. As far as I'm concerned, my husband, with his DoD government job actually has more time off even though on the surface it doesn't appear that way. Again, if he loves it, he should pursue it.

  • LMRAO!!! All these degrees, honors, mensa... and MOST of you feel/felt like shyt cause you were/are FAT! I can't wait til you all get the Email telling you that losing weight/being skinny/in shape/Built...whatever you want to call it WILL NOT make you Happy, STILL!

    Interesting take on others' successes... For what it is worth not everyone on here is/was "FAT" - though some (you) apparently cannot appreciate the work it took to get the degrees, or the advantages they can provide.
