Help! I'm having a dilema!

Jan 18, 2005 17:35

Here's the problem, I know I want to teach English, but I don't know if i want to teach high school or college. I can go through the program for high school, get a degree and teach high school for a few years, get my masters so I can teach college then stick with which one I like best, but that plan has a few issues. MONEY. It will cost a lot of money to do that because I will have a lot of education classes I do not need if I stick with college, not to mention a test that will cost me over one hundred dollars! I like the college classroom because you have a lot more freedom. It's easier to have an open conversation when you aren't worried about having your ass sued off for saying something that isn't socially acceptable in the area. I like speaking before I think and do it often (as those of you who know me can attest to). But in high school, there is more control over the class, and I love control, but at college I can sleep in. Then again I need to go to graduate school for like one or two more years and I won't have my scholarships and my aid won't be that good and I can't afford college on what I make and I will lose my parents insurance and I really am confused and rambling at this point so I'm going to move to a topic that won't drive me as crazy.

Classes and work going well, roommate got her own computer and is starting to respect my privacy more. I discovered if I don't answer her at all when she yells through the door or knocks on the door before entering, she will leave me alone and I am a strong proponent of being left alone. I have a lot more free time so far this semester, then again that is because I was an idiot last semester, who in their right mind picks up a schedule like that?
