This is sort of what I'm like too, although it's with my Doctorate.

I just want some sort of job that will help me pay for at least part of my doctorate while I'm getting it (not a GA position).

I mean I want to make teaching my career but I can't stay in school forever, so teaching middle or high school for a while so that I can get an MFA, start "real life", and work towards eventually teaching college one day is pretty much the best plan for me.

Plus it'll be nice to do something else besides attend class. I'm ready for a real job.
