Channel your love of academics into a teaching certification
August 12, 2011
If there's one field out there that's always in need of fresh faces, it's the world of education. If you're a mother who has been considering completing a bachelor's degree, teaching may just be the outlet that you're looking for.
While pursuing an education degree program can be costly, there are many college scholarships and grants for parents that can come in handy. There are a host of organizations looking to support teachers on their way to certification, and with an impressive cover letter, you may just communicate to them how good of a fit you are for the job.
A teacher's schedule is also conducive to being a parent. You will have summers off, and for the most part you will be on the same schedule as your kids. Furthermore, you will be able to enjoy the satisfaction that you made a positive impact on a young person's life.
Of course this is just one of many career options out there, but when you know exactly what you want to do, there should be nothing holding you back from realizing your dreams.
