Yup....I'm going to be a teacher!!! My whole life I wanted to be a teacher. When it came time to decide on a career I was persuaded by the all powerful dollar. I have been a working "professional" for about 3 years and I am not very happy going to work in the morning. About 6 months ago I decided to pursue a teaching career. The state has a program that lets individuals get a teaching license if they have a bachelors degree. The program is basically night school that last for a year. At the end of the year you have 12 credits that can be applied to a masters. I know the first thought many of you are having is he is not going to make any money. Believe me I realize this. Growing up, I had many privileges: Hawaiian vacations, jet skis, motorcycles, condos and a big house on the hill. Wanting to recreate my childhood I seek ed out a career that would provide me with enough funds. After having kids I have found that it is not the specific activity that you are doing that provides the best memories, but it is the experiences you have along the way. For example a family does not need a boat to be together, a backpack, tent and a good fire will provide just as many memories. Once I have excepted this principle my life has become a lot less stressful. As cheasy as this movie is it actually helped me a lot.
I gave it to jen one year for Christmas (or Birthday) any who it has a good messege. I thought about it a lot as I was preparing to make the career 180. Well my fate as a blogger has just been sealed.

Good for you for going for what you want out of life and not just for the money. I think loving what you do is much more important than bringing home a big paycheck!

Hello Peter Peter . . . Who doesnt' love those kind of films and movies?? They rock!! I think you will be a excellent teacher. The students will love you and look up to you.
About the money issue, many people are forgetting what truly brings happiness and you are a lot smarter then they are.
Congratulations, Pete. I'm happy for you being able to pursue something you love. If you love it, everything will work out.
You said it. Just so you know, I didn't grow up with any of those things and we didn't even camp that much. I can't even remember all the things we did, but I do remember being with my family a lot. Any ways I just wanted to add, I'm excited for you and your family!!!
