So... we all know by know that Dan is going to be a foxy, world-renowned physicist when he grows up, which means that he'll go all the way and get his PhD. I, on the other hand was supposed to just be happy with my bachelor's degree, teach high school, etc., etc... But, as I have been student teaching, I've come to realize that I was REALLY spoiled by my great opportunities at BYU-- I got to teach a class for an entire semester, and then I went on to conduct special multimedia seminars for BYU's students and staff. Truth is, high school just doesn't cut it! I want to teach university students. So, now, instead of wondering what the nasty realities of the public schooling system will do to me, I'm looking in to masters programs so that I can catch my dream... Pepperdine? That's been sounding really good to me lately. Who knows...
With a masters I can at least be paid more as a school teacher in the little leagues, then take a step up to junior colleges. If that makes the cut, then good! If not, I'll go on and join my dear husband and the other big guys wearing the awesome title of DOCTOR. Is two doctors in one family too much? Too many brains? Too scary?
I thought I was sick of school, but this sounds really good to me.

Go for it Rachel! Sean and I are both getting our doctorate degrees and its great! You should totally do it!
ReplyDeleteYou totally can do it, and I can see you really enjoying it! Not too scary or too much brains. You have tons of courage and drive. I miss school so much, but I don't think I would ever be able to get a PhD.
