I made it all the way to signing up for student teaching before realizing that I'd be a terrible teacher.

Instead, I went to work for Merrill Lynch as a secretary in l971, became a broker in 1977. I'm still a broker, while now working in a bank.

Guess what? Being a broker is being a teacher one-on-one when done properly. So is being a parent. So is teaching Sunday School for Middle School/High School. All of the above I've done. All of the above I've loved.

Go figure. Maybe I should have gone for that certificate after all! ;-)

Dear mombonn,

Guess what?

Our fabulous Fl gov, Jeb Bush, created something just for experienced, professional people like you: It's an Adjunct Teaching Certificate.

So, if you eventually move here to FLORIDA, all that valid teaching experience you ALREADY HAVE will COUNT -- and, you can become certified to teach part-time in the schools.

Save this web site address: www.teachinflorida.com

And, if you want to keep up with any adjunct teaching news here in FL, you can subscribe to his newsletter, published by the gov's office:

www.myflorida.com/subscribe

And -- Let me know when you relocate here! :)
