Not taking any summer classes?  I love them! They are a whole semester in a few weeks. Get's some of the easier ones out of the way.

I started off going for early childhood, but started realizing I DONT have the patience do deal with a bunch of kids on a daily basis. I have changed to Business administration, marketing and retail


Haha, thats understandable, I love kids but I don't think I do either.

You can do so much with a teaching degree. People assume you'll get stuck in a classroom for a whole school year.

Man You can do scads of things with that degree. Sometimes they just want to know you made it through college. You can do almost anything as long as you have a degree.

But here is what you can do with a teaching degree:

After school programs
Start your own daycare, and be the administrator
Camp administration/teaching
Almost every industry has room for educators
Substitute teacher
Christian school administration/teacher/tutor
Alternative educational settings
Jails/youth facilities
Rec centers
Hospitals
Government agencies
Test prep tutoring
Add a few psyche classes and you could be a school counselor

I worked as a Museum Educator
I also worked as a school-paid tutor
I worked in the Title 1 program tutoring kids one on one taking them out of their classrooms for a half hour at a time


The list can go on and on.

Tricia, I just wanted to tell you that I REALLY admire you for going back to school. I'm only taking two classes this term, and I'm feeling overwhelmed by some of the homework. And it's also been difficult getting back into the studying and classroom stuff since I've been out of school for a number of years. You've been away from it even longer than I have, so my hat is off to you!!

Psst...  ST...  Your hat looks like it's ON to me.  :eyebrow:

TL: What she said.  I'm impressed, too.  :-)

Sis

ST, if I can do it, anyone can! Believe me I hated school in high school, but I carried a 4.0 in college until some jerk gave me a B and ruined it. LOL

  I am getting all prerequisites down for my LVN (or LPN, as some call it) during the day. this is my scedule for that this semester.

Nutrition         
A & P I-Lab   M W            
#Anat & Physiology I         
#English Comp I         
#Intro to Psychology   


   BUT.... I am taking night classes [9weeks] to get my CNA certification, so that while I am finishing up nursing, I will have already been
established in a hospital, and will be getting used to all the medical work. Plus, it's extra cash!
