College Majors/Minors

[aprilzeta]

Questions:
What is/was your college major(s)? Chemistry

What is/was your college minor(s)? Biology
I went back to college 2 years later and got my certification for 2nd. education.

FOR THE GRADUATES/WORKING FOLKS:
What are you doing now professionally?
After teaching public school for six years, I decided to open my own child care center so that I can spend more time with my daughter. Being a public school teacher left me little time to spend with my precious one.
How did your major(s)/minor(s) prepare you to do your job?
I was well prepared when I was teaching, but I rarely used my degree now. I will be pursuing a Masters(B-K education) in the fall.
What internships did you do to get ready for your profession?
During my sophomore and junior years of college, I had an internship at Arthur D. Little, Inc.(pharmaceutical division) in Cambridge,MA. At the time of my internships, I thought I wanted to go to pharmacy school, but later on decided against it. My internship gave me a lot of experience as far as being a research scientist.

Like Candygirl, and CT4 I also worked for Upward Bound as a tutor/counselor, as well as after I graduated and became one of the summer instructors.
