[QUOTE="Red Poison, post: 9055727, member: 68297"] Well, I currently work in the field you are trying to get into. I am a teacher and have been doing it for 7 years. The money isn't great by no means and if it wasn't for my investments in real estate, I wouldn't have much of what I have now. Now as far as getting the job that you love, if teaching/helping students with special needs is your passion and you wouldn't feel like you are working while earning a living, then you should jump all over that! $$ is important but its definitely not everything. I truly love teaching... I didn't go to school for it but fell into it and have been doing it ever since. I want out now because I want more $$$! I have very expensive taste, and if working a job I may not love everyday is going to give me the toys that satisfy my every desire, then I'm ok with the dislike I'm sure comes along with everyones job. I went to school looking for a career, and I found that all I wanted was a paycheck. But thats me. Now as far as getting into education, you don't need to go to school first and get your master's, they will give you the job as long as you have a degree. It can be a degree in underwater basket weaving... they don't care. The turnover rate and shortage of good teachers has been and always will be high unless they start paying those that prepare your and everyone elses offspring to be successful in this world. (We are truly paid pennies for what we do.) But back on topic, teaching in one of those fields that will give you the job without being "highly qualified" as you work towards getting qualified. They will also reimburse you for your grad classes - so you ultimately go to school for free, or at least for fractions of what you would pay on your own. So, I would look into securing a position now rather than going back to school first. Then you'll be able to leave what you do now quicker... you don't have to wait 2 or 3 years, get a new degree before you start. Let me know if you have any questions... I think I can steer you in the right directions of getting started. I've worked in 4 different schools, 3 different school districts and states. I'm still don't hold a full certificate in any area of teaching. I'm 2 classes away from getting it, but I just wanted you to see its not as hard as you think. [/QUOTE]
