continental US is all the 48 remaining states right???? thank you:)

I'm excited that as a teacher I make enough money for something! Yay! I can officially sponsor my fiance (ok, I knew I could, but still...it's a nice feeling).

yep

thats sooo nice.. i finished Occupational Therapy but i was just talking about going back to school to become a pre school teacher... it would be soo fun.. any idea how much longer that would take for me to be able to teach??

Well, I did my BA and then my MA all at once, so in total it took me 6 1/2 years (with a summer study abroad). You should be able, for preschool, if you have a BA, to get into a certification program that will allow you to work as an Occupational Therapist while getting your teaching cert. I'm not sure about preschool, you may have to do Early Childhood Education. Check with the Superintendent of Education website for your state and it will list the requirements as well as schools that you can go to. Good luck

I love teaching. I know I'll never make a ton of money in it, as is evidenced by the fact that I will pay student loans forever and I've been teaching for 8 years...hee hee.. but it's worth it.

Sorry Cap'n, for hijacking your thread

I can't imagine surviving even if made only 125% of poverty, let alone poverty by itself. my rent every year is nearly that much alone! Seems like a pretty low requirement for such an obligation. We should be very thankful for this.

Some1 please help me. Interview in 10 days
