So, when I went to college I was told that I had to get a BA in a subject. Then Id have to come back to get the education portion and I'd get my masters. That was the only option I knew about :/ this was around 2010

Also left NJ but wanted to be a teacher and every teacher I talked to said not to do it, even when I was on vacation in Florida. I ran into teachers in the theme parks who taught in Florida and told me not to become a teacher. So now I'm with a history degree and no teachering degree (the way NJ handles it's certification) and working a job where I don't get paid enough to even cover my student loans. But I'm still glad I'm not teaching as bad as that sounds.
It's a shame but I'm holding out till conditions and culture improve.

That's how I feel now. I'm in guest service and get yelled out, but because I work for a big company, people think my job is cool and respects what I do (even tho it's of no importance). It's sad but it's just not worth it for me to be a teacher right now.
