Since I have been laid off for 6 months now, I've really been reflecting on what it is I want to do. I have a degree and had taught preschool for five years. Things changed with the degree requirements and I was laid off this past june (my degree was related but not early childhood and now it's required that it be early childhood). So I had been working getting enrolled for classes to get my early childhood degree. Well after a lot of thought and discussing my options with FI, I have decided to get my degree as an occupational therapy assistant. It's definitely a change for me. I still want to continue to work with children. When I was working the OTA's would come in and work with the children who were on IEP's, I would love to do something like this. This is all kind of exciting yet kind of scary. I've been out of college since 2005 and I am no spring chicken. There will definitely be a lot of things happening our first year of marriage. Did I mention we were going to try to have a baby somewhere in there too? lol I only have a few courses to take and then it's waiting to get in the program so between that time we're going to ttc. Just thought I would share and just kinda get it out of my system. And I'm currently looking for a pt job so wish me luck.
