I've been applying for all kinds of math teaching jobs.  I've even had a few interviews, though none have led to a job.  Seems as though every math teaching position requires a credential.  Do I go back to school?  Again?  Do I spend the money (that I now don't have) again?  Do I really want to be a teacher?  In being here, teaching every day, 7 hours a day (of the same kids) I do love it.  I wake up ready and energized everyday (though, honestly needing a beer or two by the end of the day on Thursday, but hell I made it to Thursday). I don't like teaching English though, this much is for sure.  I want to be teaching math.  I want my summers to travel.  I should just go ahead and do it.  Fill out my FAFSA and make sure that I can get government loans to do it.  Start applying for math teaching scholarships.  Ones that don't lock me into being in the United States so that when I have my credential I can go teach abroad.  Wish me luck.  
And check again with me in a week, maybe I'll have changed my mind.
