Teacher
I'm a first grade teacher.
Get to work around 7-7:30. Drink my coffee, check my emails and my plans. Focus on any last minute details. At 8:00 let the kids in and my day kicks off from there. We work through language arts, math, science, social studies, technology (laptop time), reading, PE, and maybe we'll have art class or PLC time where we look at data as a team. After school, it's meetings, emails, planning, prepping, hanging new work, creating lessons, and grading. All in a day's work. Fast paced and always changing.
Here's the first step for college students
I figured out what I wanted to be in college. You can have any degree to go into teaching, but some pre req's are easier to achieve through a degree in Liberal Arts or Child / Adolescent Development. The credential is the year that you take after whatever degree you have achieved and train specifically to be a teacher. The first step is applying to be in the program after you have earned your bachelor's. Look into pre req's early though so you don't have any additional units to complete before you apply for the program.
"You should do something else there are no teaching jobs, the pay is no good, you will work yourself to death, you will spend all your money on your classroom. Parents and kids have no respect these days."
