Sassy Black Friend

Even higher education

A while ago I mentioned that the boyfriend is thinking about going back to get a masters degree. I can’t really be helpful because mine mostly served to create pointless debt, but whatever. He’s being smart about it, which is more than I can say for myself.

Part of the thinking is whether to continue in his current field, or try something else. For his first 2 years of undergrad he was planning to teach, and is thinking about going back to that. He’s good at it, so I’m supportive. But I think he should consider what kind of job he wants after school is over. Education is a noble, if harrowing field.

So he’s been looking at satisfaction reports, salary surveys and education job search sites for info.

He’s not sure if it’s a dream or a realistic plan. Whatever makes him happy is fine with me. Though, I may have to vote against teaching if he makes any more “hot for teacher” jokes. Cornball.
