So, lately I’ve been rethinking the whole teaching thing. I’m not happy where I’m at right, as a preschool assistant. It’s not my dream or even my goal. The environment that I’m in right now has not been one of learning and/or growth for me. I want out, but I’m not sure which direction to go. I feel like teaching is no longer where it’s at. I don’t feel fulfilled or satisfied by what I’m doing.

There has been lots of talk about laying off teachers, here and in other places. As a result of that, I don’t feel like I have much of a chance to find a job. It also doesn’t help that I have a master’s degree - a really hard thing for a first year teacher to have when she’s trying to look for a job.

So, I guess if anyone has any suggestions and/or advice, I’d be really appreciative.

Thanks!
