Where to go from here, as far my career in teaching goes?

Asked by Glow (1366points) April 2nd, 2010

So, based on the way life is going and my volunteer teaching internship, I think teaching art is definitely something I can and want to do…

Now, I have a lot to think about as far as which direction to take next. Sadly, it isn’t that simple for me. Only thing is, which one will be the right decision? Which one will provide me with greater benefit?

I can:
1) Finish with my BA this year and find some way to get enough money to get into Grad school in another county and get an MA in Art Ed. (because it is the closest one that offers it).
2) Finish my BA, and get into a local community college and obtain an AA in Education/Teacher Preparation.
3) Finish my BA, get my teacher certification via Florida’s Alternative Teacher Certification Program, then find a job teaching Art in a public school.
4) Get a part time job in daycare/daycare teaching asap…

I REAALLLYYY want to get my masters… it is a bit of a dream actually. I don’t think I can financially afford it, due to the fact that I am jobless (have been applying though…) and broke. Decision 3 seems to be the fastest cut to a job in teaching, but that would mean I would likely never get my MA… So it’s all very difficult…

I am hoping some one can help me narrow my decisions down, or help me place more importance on one over the other. I have been giving all equal importance.

I might be thinking about it too much though…
