For those that want to teach and have a degree in anything: You can get alternative certification in several states. Sometimes you have to go back and take a few degree specific classes, but you can do it. Go to your states Department of Education website and they should have a link for how to get certified.

I know in Oklahoma if you have a bachelors degree in anything just about and you take 4 tests and you apply with the department of higher regents you can become certified.

If I had my degree to do over again I would have DEFINATELY done alternative certification. The hoops they are making me jump through for my degree in Elem. Ed is insane. My sister is getting a double major in Psychology/Sociology, my brother in law is getting his degree in Computer Science, my husband in Business Management, and none of them has to jump through the hoops I do.

back to the question at hand: I would love to write. Long ago in another life I did write, and not too bad considering my age at the time. The older and more educated I became, the less creative I have found myself able to be. There was a time when I would sit down and the words would just flow, and that hasn't happened in a very long time. I used to carry around a note pad and a tape recorder because things would pop into my head ALL THE TIME and I didn't want to loose the ideas. That hasn't happened in a few years.
