How’s that for anticlimactic? I say I’m going to be offline for a year while earning a Master’s degree in Special Ed, and I’m back in 6 weeks.
That 6 weeks was intense. They crammed an entire full-time semester into that time frame. But as time went on I came to realize that I am not cut out for work in an elementary school. Count me out. Too much peripheral crap.
Welcome back, Steve. While I was going to college, I worked for a short time as a substitute teacher at an elementary school, to make some extra $. By ‘short time’, I mean like 3 or 4 days. I figured out really quickly that I was not cut out for that. :) My wife is a high school teacher and I have no idea how she does it. But she’s cut out for it and she’s great at it.
You never know until you try. I need to do something like that, but I’ll probably have to lose my job first. I just want something that pays a little better, which is why I should jump ship and try for something better. Don’t have the courage just yet.
