When I went to college, I was encouraged to get a degree in something that would = a good job, and so I ended up choosing speech pathology. I remember a well-meaning relative telling me, when I mentioned possibly majoring in history, "Oh, you don't want to do that! Think of all those papers you'll have to write!". Speech pathology has been a great career, and I am very good at it, but at this stage in my life, I am very close to returning to school (at age 41 and with 3 kids!) to get a degree in my original love -- art history and museum studies. :)Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04096488417846275728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6416576168822674577.post-27899892406045889112011-08-02T10:14:14.076+08:002011-08-02T10:14:14.076+08:00It's funny, I was talked out of becoming a pri...It's funny, I was talked out of becoming a primary teacher by a well-meaning uncle. I went into other things that I've also loved - design, marketing and becoming an entrepreneur. While I don't think I will ever actually teach, I am currently obsessed with kids' education, creativity and play. The level of research I am currently putting into my kids' products goes waaaaay beyond what is needed, but really fills this part of my soul.<br /><br />Can't wait to see the finished magazine - getting so excited!Cathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06035359686891598881noreply@blogger.com
