Its is amazing to me how everyone in your life knows what you should do with your life minus you. I got a degree in Liberal Studies and a teaching credential which means I can teach grades k-6. I'm not sure I want to do that. So now I am getting a child development permit which lets me teach preschool. This is the first time I have actually enjoyed school and wanted to learn. Doesn't that say something? Most everyone I talk to says I would be wonderful at preschool yet when I talk to the parental units, they say public elementary school or nothing. Shouldn't you do what makes you happy and fulfilled, not what your "supposed" to do because you get more money?
Jobs are so complicated and their are so many choices. I want to go into ministry (either high school or college) and I want to do preschool, potentially teach for 2 years so I can get a non expiring credential, an who knows what else. I think the difference between my generation (20 somethings) and my parents is that my parents get a job and do it. They do it until they retire, where as my generation does a job because it is something we WANT to do and have fun doing.
