I spent my first three years in college as a mechanical engineering major...I liked the math ok, and was excited about the money I could make right out of college. But something was missing, I couldn't see myself doing it and enjoying myself. I switched my major..big time..into the education department. I knew that I liked working with kids, and what more important job is there than a teacher? Here I am now...not making much money at all...absolutely loving every day. I'm excited that i GET to wake up and do what I do. It's a nice feeling....money isn't the most important thing in life.
