When I applied to college I wanted to major in foods and nutrition. But before I made it on campus that September, I changed it twice - first to communications (what WAS I thinking) then to biology. I graduated with a concentration in microbiology, and worked in that field for a year. After a series of career changes during my twenties, I became a science teacher when I turned 30, and never looked back. Currently I'm a fifth grade teacher (who teaches science to the entire fifth grade in my school). Yes, I love the breaks and summers off. But it would be nice to be paid more. I have enough graduate degrees for three people. :wink:
Can't say I love my insurance. I've always taught in private schools (albeit good ones), and the insurance isn't nearly as good as in the public school system.
Yes, you could always go back to school! That's what I did. I did a master's degree program for career changers, and that's how I got my certification, as well as my first master's degree. Many programs like that have evening classes, so perhaps your husband could watch the kids for a night or two while you attend class.
