[nobe-l] Introduction and Advice for Student Teaching

[Kayla James]

Thank you for telling me all that, Tara. It does help. I suppose now
another dilemma to figure out is whether to go for four years in
education or two years in child development/early childhood education.
I'm wondering because I am 23 and still a college freshman. I still
live at home.
If I go four years, that would mean transferring to another school and
getting a bachelor's. If I go, I'll be a teacher in any grade I want,
higher pay, more paperwork and around age 27, probably.
If I get my associate's here at my junior college, I'll be at work
faster, an assistant teacher, daycare worker, or nanny (I can't help
it, you guys. I'm still holding out on that dream), but with less pay.
So that is my pros and cons delemma list.
If anyone has done either, please send advice on or off list.
