Shags,,,,As a former History/Socioligy Professor, I have since become one of the undead....Administrator.
Take my advice girlie, do NOT get into education.
Unless you are an 80 year old tenured legend, you will not make a decent living.
While the college atmoshpere and being around young people is something I truly enjoy, the money, politics, and bs is sometimes worse than the corporate world.
If money is an issue with you, look elsewhere.
Just my .02. Anything else you need, let me know.
