40yrs old and I'm trying to figure out what to do with the rest of my life!
I have a bachelors degree in Fashion Merchandising. Worked in that industry until I had kids. Since then, I have been a teachers assistant for a preschool for 3yrs and the last 2 years an assistant at a private school for 1st and 2nd grade. Love working with younger kids and the creativity of being in the resource room. I'm at the point where I need to decide whether its worth it to get my masters in early education.
My concern is the $$$ spent and not sure I want my "own" classroom per se. I love working one on one or in small groups. Would love to be a reading specialist but that's even more schooling. My sister suggested doing what she does, paraprofessional. Or exploring just an associate degree in early education.
So confused!!! If anyone has any advise I would GREATLY appreciate it! I have an appt on the 18th at National Lewis University.
