Jobs

It was fun following up on people's comments because for one day, I started to think that I really could turn my life around and start a different career. But there were very good points brought up about how it would affect my financial situation. I think at this point, I really have to stay with my job (because I need to finish paying for my school loans). When I become a teacher, it will probably be 6 or 7 years from now. I'm going to do more research on social work in the meantime. I am hoping that there's some kind of program to do social work for a couple of weeks, like if volunteers are needed or something.

Hey Geo, it's great you love being a systems analyst. I'm a systems/business analyst as well. I love what I do at work, and I love my co-workers But I know I would love being a teacher more and the work would be more rewarding for me. I'm not planning on being a teacher at NYC.. I want to teach for elemtenary school kids at the city where I grew up, Jersey City, NJ. It is a ghetto area, and the main reason I want to teach here is because half of the kids who grow up here will probably turn out to be drug addicts, criminals, rapists, or murderers. I hope I can make a difference at an early age in someone's life. Thinking about this really makes me want to be a teacher right now, but it will have to wait.

Hey Blight, I really hope you become a teacher.. sounds like you have all the right reasons to be one
