Teaching
Hi,
Being a former high school math teacher for 13 yrs. In one of the largest counties in VA, I quit to return to college for a Bachelors Degree in Engineering.
I loved being with high school kids, and helping them, before and after school, as well as in classes, and being involved in extra-curricular sports activities. During that 13 yrs, I also obtained a Master Degree in Public School Administration and Supervision, working as a part-time Assistant Principal, in the same school system. My hopes were to be a full-time Principal.
But, there were two issues which could only be resolved by getting out of teaching; One was money, the other "politics"!
I do feel for you, and I'm afraid it hasn't changed much. My last year of teaching was 30 years ago!
From my own experience, get into something you really like. A job has to be fun, something you like, in order to be worthwhile. Nurses are needed all over America. An RN makes very good money in our local small area, from $20 to $40 per hour. I don't really know the pay in other areas across the US.
If not nursing, look into other professions. I do sincerely with you the best, and good luck with pursuing your interests.
