Breaks Make You Think...

So tonight I had a 3 hour class... in this class this phenomenal speaker spoke a PHd in Psychology spoke about cognitive psychology and how it impacts your affect (your feelings) which impact your actions. It made me miss psychology a lot and realize that as much as teaching has been a huge part of my life, it's not going to be the final thing.
-This is not to say I don't love my school, or my students, I just don't see myself as a teacher forever.

So I started thinking about options. There were a few different ways I could see things going.


With a Masters in Education I can:
1. Stay Teaching
2. Become an educational consultant
3. Become an instructional coach
4. Pursue a Doctorate

I can see pursuing a Doctorate in Psychology or Education.
Pros for education-much easier to get into the schools, pass tests because that has been my speciality.
Pros for psychology-room for further advancement, ability to practice as a psychologist.

Ultimately my perfect life would be
1. Mark and I buy a house, in a perfect location for under 200k :)
2. A few more years in teaching ( to perfect the craft of course)
3. Have a kid
4. Start my new career/educational pursuit. 

Of course like all things, this will happen, because life always occurs according to plan. :) Excited to see it all unfold!
