I've finished my Bachelor degree, and am still in debate over getting my Masters degree. However, I've always wanted to be a teacher. I love being able to help others with their math assignments, and it's always great to help out and stay on top of my education (so to speak).
Now, when I say teacher, I'm pretty specific about it. I'd LOVE to be a math teacher at a level in which I'd teach Pre-Algebra or Algebra. However, I REALLY don't feel like dealing with students at that age. At least not with some of the schools we have in this area. At the same time, sometimes I think maybe starting with a younger age group would be better, and then work my way up.
I'd like to get opinions on what you think would be the best route to go... Go for my Masters and forget about teaching, go for my teaching certification, or just keep on truckin' on as is. I can make a lot more money I'm sure with the degree I have over teaching, but for me, I'd rather appreciate my job and like it than make money doing something I'm not feeling is rewarding.
