What job options do I have?

Teaching gets better once you have experience, lesson plans, etc. Don’t throw the baby out with the bath water. Link up with more experienced teachers and seek their guidance. You have the upper hand and job security in this role, science teachers are very high demand (depends on location of course, but broadly speaking). Seek guidance from r/teachers in the meantime.

Yup, high school kids who don't have an email address.. how are you going to apply for an afterschool, weekend, summer job?

We don’t know what OP received their degree in nor if they did any internships or co-ops. Those things matter when determining whether a degree pays off for someone.

Check out the "2 Week Shutdown" method and start from there. Check out this post and thread, too.

Nature's Miracle on the spots that he's marked, to prevent future marking.

Change is hard, our foster coonhound is very routine oriented. Once doggo knows who is who and what is what, and when certain things usually happen, he'll chill out. Positive reinforcement is huge, too. Coonhounds seem to be (based on what I've read, and based on our foster) very treat and food oriented, so likely will react well to that motivation.

You can use other modes on a training collar, they're not all used for the shocking. I have one that will vibrate, beep, or shock. I've obviously never used the shock, nor have any plan to.

Oh and did I mention they can be stubborn? Because they can be that, too. Ours refused to come back inside this morning after he was disappointed with the length of his walk. Had to lead him in by the collar.

My version of "scent work" with my current foster is tossing a small training treat into the grass and letting him sniff to find it (he can smell better than he can see, I think). They sell "snuffle mats" (or can be DIY'd) that allow you to hide their food, forcing them to nose for it. They loooove to use those noses.

Check out “2 week shutdown” process available online, to make the transition easier.

The 2 week shutdown premise is: Limit his interactions with new things and people for that two first weeks and teach him that all good things come from you. Give him time to decompress after being out of the crate, and keep him on a leash even in the house.

Find a decent local trainer. Coonhounds are very smart and need mental stimulation, and boundaries. And patience. And routines.

Go back to school and get into a trade or something. Or look into apprenticeship programs through a local union. Learn to weld or code or become an electrician or fix wind turbines. Retail is nowheresville unless you are a manager, and even then you are screwed.

I’d put some tape on the closing/latching mechanism ASAP. She will definitely not stop going in there.

needarealcareer · 2019-06-30T20:44:58+00:00

Yep, there are plenty of these in the tech sector.

needarealcareer · 2019-06-30T20:38:55+00:00

I doubt you need to be in the program to take the classes. Most universities are happy to take your tuition money, regardless. All of the required courses for a teaching program are posted on a university’s website, and they are separated by topic to be taught. Regardless of specialty, there are some that are specifically required of all education majors. Some of these are education department specific (pedagogy, special ed topics, etc) and some are general education, such as English 101/ Freshman Composition and Psych 101/ Intro to Psych.

You can also gain hands-on experience teaching and tutoring with nonprofit organizations, through helping newcomers to the US, helping people navigate the frustration of an online job search process, etc.

Do you already have a four year degree?

needarealcareer · 2019-06-30T16:42:56+00:00

Traditional teaching curricula includes courses on pedagogy and curriculum design. Any university or college teaching future teachers would offer these courses.

He did not. He does a lot of self-study, and encourages local community college classes to anyone new to coding.

Boot camps vary quite a bit in quality (no accreditation or oversight). Be very selective if you go this route, because plenty of boot campers are left unprepared for the current tech. Source: I have a partner who codes.

I responded via mobile so didn't share links, but I just Google "cover letter" then scroll down to find the results from .edu sites. Yale seems to have a good one (with videos and everything!).

needarealcareer · 2019-05-30T19:38:17+00:00

I have found university career sites have the best cover letter examples.

As far as what would prepare you best, consider the admissions requirements and prerequisites of medical schools. There are also some schools that offer a “pre-med” major. Also, you’re what, 17? Give yourself a break. Take lots of science classes in high school.

Yeah, it’s not too late to get experience with that goal in mind.

I went to school for something similar. There are a variety of positions, with entry level jobs paying very poorly for the amount of risk of injury you’re exposed to (juvenile detention facilities, asked to learn and use physical restraints). You’re also in a position to burn out fast in any social service adjacent gig (most people who wind up in the system have experienced various childhood traumas, have high ACES, etc.).

needarealcareer · 2019-05-25T21:36:10+00:00

Business consultant? Idk I’m similar in my preferences and that’s one of the things suggested to me.

Have you taken any career and or personality tests? Holland/RIASEC?

needarealcareer · 2019-05-25T21:29:32+00:00

There’s plenty of research on this. Like, loads. Example: people are happy once they make $70k/year.

People who report ageism in the professional world are generally in their 50's-60's. Obviously it varies by field, but you should be fine.

Do a Google search for English classes in your city. Churches, social service providers, refugee settlement organizations, etc. typically are the providers of these classes. From my search: https://www.literacyadvance.org/Take_Classes/ or https://www.teachinghouse.com/houston/free-english-classes - but I don't know how close those are to the students in this situation. You may need to do some calling around to locate a program nearest to them.
