Chester,
I agree with everything people are saying to help you get a job working
with children. I am an elementary teacher myself, but before I even
finished high school and all through college I did extensive
volunteering. I volunteered in schools, at a weekend church retreat,
and in a local childcare. Then, during college breaks, I worked in a
childcare (cause, afterall, we all need some spending money!). Then
when I got out of school, I found it very easy to get a job because I
had already had extensive experiences with all ages of kids.
Just a thought...Could you go to college and geta degree in special ed.
or elementary ed. or even child psychology? Having a college degree
makes a huge difference even in less "professional" careers with
children.
Just my two cents...Hope it helps.
Linda
