I have a “science” degree, I earned the old fashioned way, work, get money to take classes to get work to make more money to take more classes. In the mean time my primary area disappears as work is sent overseas to “cheaper” engineers.

So, seeing that many people I worked with over the years had poor math skills, decided I want to try teaching… The second career Masters programs, “sound” reasonable, and supposedly “build” on your own experiences.

I would go into the Minotaur’s maze, but I decided that under the current conditions, teaching was not for me. However I do tutor some neighborhood kids in math, and would like to continue this, without the loss of more $$$ or my sanity.
