From what I hearing the amount of people taking advantage of all the Online Degree Programs that are being offered more and more these days for people that for what ever reason choose not to attend the regular/standard class room classes that most of us attended back in our formal education days.
My good friend Skip, I just recently found out, has always wanted to be a 3rd grade teacher, not 2nd grade or 4th grade, it has to be 3rd grade, for reasons that he is keeping to himself at this point. And now that his kids are grown and out of the house and he and his wife split up, he is all about what HE wants and what He needs, and I think He is crazy! No not really, well maybe just a tad, it’s just that I never knew that he had always wanted to be a teacher. I know he is good with kids, but teaching them every day, day in and day out, week after week, month after month, ugh it makes my head hurt just thinking about be stuck in a classroom with 20 or 30 loud, wild and crazy 8, 9 and 10 year old kids! He really must be committed to this dream in order to be seriously talking about and checking out the online degree programs in education with The University of Phoenix which is a very well known school that offers accredited online and campus programs in education as well as numerous other programs as well.
I’m assuming that he has the money all ready saved up to take these courses, if not there is ample assistance for today’s students to aid in the cost involved in obtaining these degrees. But I’ll send him a few links that I have come up with, like the one http://www.fafsa.ed.gov/ which will take him to a Free Application For Federal Student Aid, ’tis the least I can do for the guy at this point.
