I am going back to school in the summer/fall depending on program.

i am thinking i really want to get a Masters in Education and start on a long career of teaching the youngsters. The problem i am having is getting information i need and finding someone at the local universities to take the time to answer some questions about this path.


My other option is doing an MBA in which i can find all the help i want but i completed my undergrad in business. If i persue this program i want to do it in conjunction with a JD. The reason i state this is because if i am going to be in "business" I want to have all doors open.

My last option is to complete a certification program or bachelors in ed. But at this point it does not make sense since the masters is shorter program (14 mos). The masters program just requires more to get started.

Anyone follow these paths? any input? thanks

 

Please do yourself a favor and DO NOT get into education until Bush and NCLB Disappear. Talk to some elementary educators they are going nuts right now.

 

I think the MBA/JD program would be great. I plan on looking into this as well within the next few years. Villanova has a pretty decent program in this I believe.

With that said, and MBA is definitely a more "flexible" degree. My sister got her M.Ed after she started teaching (B.A. in Education), but she's a lifer as a teacher I think. I hoped this helped a little and good luck
