Career Thought

So far I have posted of becoming a sports analyst, a teacher, and a software engineer. Thinking about it, I could become a teacher that teaches about computers, or a teacher that teaches physical education; two of my favorite hobbies combined into one profession. As I've said before, this has to be in my genes, because I do not know anyone else my age that would like to become a teacher. Am I crazy? Yeah probably...but yolo. After high school I plan to get a college degree and a masters, preferably in math, software engineering, sports management, or even music, and then pursue my teaching career from there.

If I were to become a math teacher, I would prefer to teach a class that the student will benefit most from society, so probably like an Algebra class. I would make sure that the students know exactly what to do, because it will pop up in their lives quite often beyond that point. If I were to become a software engineer teacher, I would teach computer programming or Web Design because, well, that's my strong point, and my family knows a lot of secret tactics some people don't know about. Becoming a physical educational teacher is pretty self-explanatory; I'll teach the kids how to play all the sports and show them ways to have fun.

Cal Poly, Santa Clara, and UCSB are the top schools I would like to attend to achieve my degree/masters. Getting a degree from those schools would likely boost my chances of becoming the teacher I want, even though I still don't know... Not quite sure which grade level I should teach at, but I can figure that out sometime in the near future. I want to teach mainly because I want to have a great relationship with my students, and knowing that the students would like me will really motivate me. A great student to teacher relationship is really what I'm looking forward to.

For my career presentation, which I will probably present tomorrow, I am focusing on teaching. I will be talking about how to become one, what their salaries are, and some rhetoric teachers must use. It's pretty interesting how the process works.
