Are you considering a degree in education? Here’s some advice from someone who’s been on the job since 1999:

“Start early, don’t procrastinate. Education is a hard field, get a degree in the subject you love first so you can have something to fall back on. Not that I don’t love my job, it allows me to have two careers. Make sure your always willing to love hundreds of kids at a time.”

This is advice anyone can benefit from:

“College is not for everyone, but plan for some kind of post-secondary education. Don’t stop at high school.”
