That's cool... my wife is getting her masters in school counseling. She teaches middle school math, and is one of those people who can connect with most kids. I thought about going into secondary education as industrial arts instructor. The more I thought about it the more I realized that while I can teach those who want to learn... connections with those that don't would drive me to drink more. Thus I skimmed out into a business degree. I hold 2 masters titles, and will rely on my trade knowledge until the time when my body will not allow me to do them. (We just had an 80 year old man recalled into the shop I work in).
I'm in school now finishing up some pre-reqs and starting the B.A. Program in Social Work then onto the Masters program. It's killing me...geez I feel old..but, I've always wanted to get a degree and finish something.
Much kudos and respect to all of you folks (and your spouses) who are getting degrees in education or social work, two fields where the supply of professionals never seems to keep up with the need.
