No idea what major though. I only have recently seriously considered the teaching thing, so I have to look into salaries and junk. But yeah. Never in my life would I have believed that I'd consider ANY career in a school LOL. I hate school and have never, ever liked it.


I really want and hope my mom pursues a degree in higher education. I kinda effed her over by being born whilst she was only a freshman, so she never got a chance to really go back to school. Now that I'm about as old as King Tut though, I hope she really considers it.

Wow, DreamMerchant, I don't think I could do the intermediate teaching I have little patience with kids in that age group but then again when I sub intermediate the kids say I'm so "cool"

It is not that bad if you scare them on the first week of school. If you come out hard then you will have no problems! I took over in the middles of the school year for a 9th grade math class and those kids were jerks. That tacher let them do anything (that is why he was fired in the middle of the year). I was called "nappy headed *&&^*#" and Medusa and all that stuff. By May, those kids were alot more respectful. I had to make alot of calls to so peoples parents. I even had some parents sit in class with their child. Now that was funny!

But what I really want to do is go to law school. I've wanted to do that since 1998. That damn LSAT is no joke! But that's okay because I'm also starting my prep course end of this summer and plan to take the test in Oct. and again in Feb (if needed).

Hope to start school Fall 2011.

I guess I really love learning lol I plan on going to medical school in the future to be a pediatrician. I also want to open up clinics in underprivileged societies (with help from all areas of study: social work, nursing, international relations, everything) to give health care to those who really have problems getting it. If I don't get into med school, I'm still going to work in health care in the community

Me! Well, not exactly seeing as I'm only a junior in high school but the IT field is an idea I've been thinking about since I was 11. I want to be a front end web designer/developer (if being a MUA doesn't work out lol)

What career are you interested in that field?

If Not IT or Computer Science with a minor in art then Marketing w/ a minor in art. There's a 90% chance I'm going to end up as a freelancer in whatever I do so I figured marketing will help me with 'marketing' myself.

@natural83 how do you like working in marketing?

I have been working in the hospital since 16 and I'm very compassionate about helping others. It's getting difficult but I have to pull through. I'm young, with no kids, and financial support so there is no reason for me not to finish. You ladies are smart and dedicated. keep it up. I'm proud of my natural sistas!
