Considering what our state government just did to us, I would
strongly advocate for you to pursue any career besides
teaching. I am sick and tired of being treated so terribly by
this pathetic state. I sat in on an interview at my school
yesterday and one of the first questions I asked was related
to understanding how little money he would be making as a
teacher. Go to a two year nursing program or look for a
mangement position at a retail location. Anything is better, I
promise..
