I just realized how important balance really is, not only because of my health problem right now but also because of some of the observations that I have made, particularly in the economy and our work force.
Hubby just recently enrolled in graduate school and it dawned on me that the difficulty of getting into a class that works with one’s schedule may be due to the lack of teachers or professors. My SIL is also having a hard time getting into a state college. Their uncle says that there aren’t too many classes, that’s why the waiting list is too long; again, blame it on shortage of professors.
I guess in the past years, newly-grads have aimed for what’s in demand, medical courses that is. This may have caused a decrease in the number of people having interest in getting teaching degrees. Now we feel the effect: lack of teachers. Had we known this was coming, the hubby and I would have tried to get teaching degrees ourselves. Anyways, anyone can be teacher after college; you just have to specialize in your course.
In the meantime, I can start by preparing myself for being a pre-school teacher to my first student…
