Decisions

Well, I've made a big decision. I have decided to switch my major in school to Business with a focus in Economics. Not that I love Economics, but it was either that or Accounting or Operations. Economics seemed the easiest. :) As you know, my major right now is English Literature so that I can one day go on to the glamorous life of teaching. I have been doing a lot of research on the schools that I would like to teach at and none of them pay well. NOT that I would be doing it for the money, but let's face it...life requires money. Curt and I have chosen to live a life that requires both of us to work. If I were to enter the teaching field today, I would take a significant pay cut. OUCH. Also, my education classes are impossible to take at night. I would have to quit working my full time job and get a couple of odd end jobs just to be able to do it. So, I decided that now would be the best time to make my decision since I don't have too much time vested into my major. My basics are out of the way, but I am standing at a crossroads where I have to decide where to go next. I have prayed about it, discusses it with Curt, prayed about it, and prayed about it. I am going to switch majors. That seems to be the most rational decision. I can get my business degree and still start teaching (and get certified at the same time). If I don't like it, I can fall back on my business degree and my 7 years experience in aviation. If I get my English Literature degree and don't like teaching, then I just have a literature degree. Not much I can do with that.

I am excited, glad to have made a decision that will help me in the long run. :)
