Who'd have thought?

Well, I finally got a job! And it's something I thought I'd never do.
I work at Gymboree where I will be teaching little kids art, music and even actual nursery school!
I came to the realization that I'm not quite cut out to work in the design field. I may be a rock star at Photoshop and Illustrator, it's just that without InDesign, Quark and other things like that, no one's really going to hire me. I'm not a designer, nor do I want to be or conform to be. I like to draw and do art. Rob suggested I try going back to school to be an art teacher, something I've toyed around with for a while. Going back to school is huge, expensive and takes time, but the thought of being an art teacher fills me with much joy. After much talking and researching, I'm going back to school most likely next year! I'll get a bachelor's in art with a minor in education, which I can transfer lots of my credits. Nothing is final, but I hope it works out.

So Gymboree! The same day we were talking about me going to school for art teaching, Gymboree posts a position for an art and music teacher with no education degree required! Blah blah blah and I got called for an interview!! Now in my last week of training, I'm very happy and have tons of fun playing with the kids and I can't wait to have my own classes. And it fits because I will still be able to go to school at the same time when I do decide to start. Dude, I'm getting paid to be loud, sing and play...how cool is that?
