Hello all.
This fall, I'll be starting my senior year at my undergrad. My major is
Human Development and Learning (which is actually my university's code for Elementary Education, but is more psychology-heavy than other teacher ed. programs). I will have minors in psychology and special education as well.
Other significant experiences are a certified writing ability (I work at my college's writing center and will be the student supervisor in the fall). I will also complete an internship in the fall with Disability and Support Services at the college, and my undergraduate thesis (required by the honors program) will be relative to my work there.
Despite all of this, I have no idea what type of career I want to pursue, except that I am very interested in higher education and/or student affairs. I've been trying to figure things out and looking into grad programs this summer, and can't seem to make any decisions.
-So I guess my question is, with this background, do you think I have potential for getting hired in a field other than elementary education?
-Are employers going to see straight through that university code and know that my degree is really teacher certification?
-Do you have any suggestions for fields that I might be well suited for based on this info?
Sorry this is so long! Any comments are welcomed and appreciated.
