24.365.2.1 Contemplating career change

Little known facts 3:

 

Just everyone knows that I am unemployed, and that this bout of work-less-ness has lasted longer than me or anyone would have predicted. It's scary, and hard and baffling and sometimes maddening. But it's also healthy and good and broadening my thinking, if that makes sense.

 

something I have played VERY close to the vest (like, I've talked about it with 4 friends total and no one else) is that I am considering getting licensed to teach in the state of Colorado. I am still processing this and considering how this would work, if it would make me happy, and all of the hoops I'd be jumping through. Perhaps arrogantly, I don't doubt that I'd be good at it. I also know how crucial and meaningful good teaching is and that even on my worst day in a classroom, being with kids is rewarding for me. I am still, however, deciding if this is where my skills and talents will be best aimed.

 

the first step is getting my (very weird Hampshire College) transcript together and getting evaluated so . . . there you go. Sharing is fun. LA!
