I'm upset

RomanGladiator · July 09, 2015, 05:39:59 AM

As usual. Well things didn't work out with one girl and now I'm already meeting another on Monday. Third girl in three months, but that's besides the point.

I can't keep doing the job I'm doing. I'm not sure if I want to go to grad school and become a teacher just yet because it's a huge commitment, and 26,000 dollars. The program would start his May and I would have to take a few tests before December I think. I really want to do substitute teaching to see if it's for me, but I also want a full time job that would make more money. If I get a full time job then I won't be able to do subbing, and then won't know if teaching is for me. I may get this job I interviewed for last month, and would want to work there until May and start the program, but that would mean going in blindly not knowing what being a teacher is like. I don't know, I'm so anxious about everything. But what I'm doing right now, basically being a cart pusher is driving me insane.

Is anyone in the same spot or has been with grad school? I'm being realistic and being a teacher is probably the only career I could have with my degree, I have been searching for 14 months after all for something else. And I feel like a waste because I've been working part time since February. I wish I could go back and do subbing then instead of accepting a retail job, but I didn't have the confidence to get in front of a class. It's something that I really need to force myself to do.

What did you major in?

All the teachers I see around have new cars. Go do that.

History. I've tried finding a career for a long time now and definitely had interviews. But I'm trying to be realistic now about what I can do.

Except it's not that quick. A year and a half program.

What is there a faster way?

How far along is your schooling? I switched to a teaching degree after finishing up my associates and actually had a few of my classes done for my bachelors as well according to them, so it won't take me as long.

I have my bachelor's.
