Top 3 Grad school options for when i go back to school
so i plan on going back to school in fall of 2006...most likely to SDSU. here are the top programs that i am interested in...in no particular order...

1. Masters in Education and Student Affairs...i think i would enjoy working with students, specifically college students, outside of the classroom and being involved with student life

2. Masters in Education in Multi-Cultural Counseling (via the Community Based Block @ SDSU). my roommate Chris is going thru that right now, and i know a lot of alumni. it seems like an intriguing process which will allow me to grow interpersonally. going hand in hand with my old job as an ATC @ UCSD.

3. Masters in Education and Secondary Instruction (emphasis in Biology). my original plans for after i graduated from UCSD. those plans got put on the backburner because i didnt meet certain requirements to get into a program that i wanted to. i've been wanting to be a high school teacher for the past 5 years.


if you notice...all of my potential programs deal with education. i definitely cannot continue with my current job. it's driving me crazy, and not what i pictured myself doing with my life. i want to make a difference in peoples lives...not in the pocketbook of a big company like the one i currently work for. i'm tired of trying to meet "business needs" of my company. especially in the department i work for...it feels like theyre treating us like children...and it's the freakin entry level position of the company. i dont like the fact that we are pretty much being timed for what we do. i suppose i'd be alright with it if they gave us an incentive to adhere to their time restraints...but the bonus and incentives were recently cut as they adopted these timing standards.

well...this blog got longer than i planned for it. must shower so i can adhere to my schedule for work...wouldnt wanna be late. stay tuned...we'll be back after these messages =p
