if you aren't interested in teaching for the rest of your life, and just want to "give back" or something like that, then try teach for america.
yeah, we have teaching fellows here in the city. i really didnt consider that TFA doesnt give certification. i wouldnt wanna teach for 2 years just for experience, especially if im gonna come out bitter. let me be bitter with a masters.

p.s. i want in on the IHE joke...
