I have many friends who are teachers.  They have all stayed in the profession of teaching and love it.  I want to remind all of you out there, that NO ONE can take an education from you.  Do you have a bachelors degree?  If yes, move one, get that masters degree.  Dream of something else you  may want to do:
Admin
Speech Path
Counseling
The professions in education that help children are limitless.
No, you don't have your bachelors degree, I SAY DO IT!  Do it now!  It is never too late.  Your education is for you!  It helps YOU!  You will reap the benefits of touching other's lives. 

You have a masters!  Go for the doctorate!  What  are you waiting for?  AGAIN, it something NO ONE can take from you!  That piece of paper (THE DEGREE)  it is yours! 

I don't like to be on a soapbox, and I want what is best for EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU!

GO FOR IT!
