The Future Hopefully

We visited Ed's family last night which further confirmed that I do not want to be a teacher.  I don't ever want to have to grade papers or make up activities/exams while I'm at home or visiting people.  Today my students were very disruptive and loud.  I'm tired of having to discipline other people's kids.  I want a job where I get respect and I'm appreciated for the work that I do.  Those things do not happen when I work as a teacher.  I dread coming to work every Monday.

I would really like to be a doctor.  I also want to invest in properties.  I want to buy properties and rent them out.  The first one would be logically to pay off our house, rent it out, and then we'd move to a better neighborhood/school district.

This summer I'm going to temp to earn extra money.  I'm also going to volunteer at a hospital and apply for some post-bach medical programs.

The plan is to get into medical school and then join the army so that they will pay back all my medical loans.

I just know that I can't teach for much longer.  It's a miserable job and there aren't many positions anyway.  It's not a secure job like it used to be (which was one of its only advantages).
