Honest Questions... really.

Feb 03, 2008 17:32

I've decided that I'm not completely sure if I really really like teaching. Problem is, I don't have an exact idea of what else I really want to do. So, here's a list of questions that I'll post to you, my beloved friends!

1. Assuming I'd be making $20/hour under the table, working approximately 30 hours a week, do you think nannying for the boys ( Read more... )

the couple of times i've talked to you about teaching it has sounded like the school you're in isn't the best. maybe a different school will be better for you...

there is nothing wrong with being a nanny- especially if you'll be making enough money to sustain yourself. the only problem is the whole benefits problem....

and going back to school while nannying will help explain the gap- although i really don't think you should be worried about how it's going to look on your resume. if you think of only that then you're not going to be happy. lots and lots of people take time off to do all sorts of things. and there's no reason why you have to know what you want to study now, start looking at colleges and programs. see what looks interesting to you. look at everything- science, arts, pottery, rock climbing... you never know.

and when i think of some good career goals/ideas i'll be sure to share them, but in the meantime, let me know if you think of any since i'm still looking!

cheer up and smile! :-) you're going to be fine!

rachel pretty much said anything i was going to say! the only ones i have a really solid opinion on are one and two, ITS OK and ITS OK. hehe. change of school might change your opinion too, it might help to think about what exactly is not to your liking and try to work out if it is specific to your school or not, or to the age group, or town, or coworkers.
