CalicoKat Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 So I have a BA in Eng. Lit. but if I went back to school I think I'd take a serious look at Dental Hygiene. It'd take my cleaning skills to a whole new level! What about you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LunaLee Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 I'm going for a degree in Natural Resources and maybe Technical Communications. I wanted something that would make decent money, but that offered some flexibility as far as what I would be able to do, where I'd be able to do it, and how long I'd be able to do it. I was a medical assistant pre-homeschooling, and I don't think I'd return to that unless I absolutely had to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unsinkable Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 So I have a BA in Eng. Lit. but if I went back to school I think I'd take a serious look at Dental Hygiene. It'd take my cleaning skills to a whole new level! What about you? You mean after I am done crying and staying in bed b/c I don't transition well? I am thinking of finding out more about becoming a tax preparer. Or doing homecare for the elderly. Or working at a sandwich shop. Or becoming a baker at Panera. I actually can't breathe very well thinking about all the kids being gone. I don't have many years left with them at home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCoffeeChick Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 My dream degree .... Master's of Library Science Unfortunately, I have only an Associates of Science right now - lots of work ahead of me if I want to get to a master's degree! :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FO4UR Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 I have a BSE Music Ed. I was looking at what it would take to be on occupational therapist...or a reading specialist/tutor. fyi- it seems I'd have to actually teach in a ps for most masters in any education field...so...that ain't happenin':tongue_smilie: (I do NOT want to teach in a ps!) I could see myself just tutoring though...if people would hire me without being certified. I have about 14 years to change my mind though.:001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littlebug42 Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 When the kids get older/are gone to college, I plan to get a degree in social work. I would like to work as a social worker at a local hospice/hospital. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AuntieM Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 I have been inspired by those who are qualified to respond to major emergencies and natural disasters as part of medical relief teams, as well as those who have very necessary and specific skills to aid in missions-related work. I am too old (physically, IMO) to be an EMT, so I am going to ease into nursing. (Yes, I know I have to be fit for nursing, too, and I am working on that). We'll see how the doors open. I have one baby-come-lately so while my olders will be gone, I'll have a little friend around for a while. That will make the transition easier!

regentrude Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 I have kept working all along and will probably just increase my hours to a full time position. I teach physics at a university and love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truscifi Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 ESL certification and a teaching certificate. I want to teach overseas. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BamaTanya Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 I love learning and I love teaching. Sometimes I think I'm too old and it will never happen. Other times I think you don't get too old to go to school. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other times I think you don't get too old to go to school. :) I saw that in the college catalog and had to pause for a long moment. My college professor sister teaches ESL at a local University. Totally get this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angela in ohio Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 I'm going back to school to get my Secondary Ed degree to teach math, computer science, and physics. We plan to send youngest to school for 7th or 9th, and I will go to work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeckyFL Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Maybe just a professional student? I have a B.S. degree and I can think of some classes I might like to take but I really don't have the desire right now to do anything with them. Maybe I'm just tired. It's been a bit of a hard day.
