Another fscking disappointment
March 20, 2009
It looks like becoming a teacher may be impossible, at least in the short term. I got my transcript evaluation back from the State Department of Education and it said I needed two literature classes a teaching methods course and an educational psychology course.
Getting into three of classes is no problem, but the fourth, teaching methods, is something none of the local universities are willing to let me take without re-enrolling as an education major and taking several semesters of prerequisites. My alma mater wanted me to take two semesters of undergraduate coursework and then enroll in an 11-month masters program.
I would really like to take the masters route, if only I could afford it. I can’t. As for the undergraduate option, if I can’t take the necessary course without taking too many prerequisites, then it becomes impossible too.
Ever since graduating pretty much every fucking thing has gone wrong. So, it really shouldn’t come as much of a surprise this didn’t work out.
I just wish I wasn’t stuck at a job I hate with co-workers I can barely stand at a wage for high schoolers.
