Calling all Education Majors
If you’re interested in the educational field and are in need of experience prior to graduating, or if you’re a college student looking for some extra cash here are some entry level job ideas. For starters, if your not one hundred percent sure you want to become a teacher it’s a good idea to interview an experienced professional on their current educational occupation. If you can find someone teaching in the area of your interest, ask them questions about the specifics of their job; i.e. what kind of education they recieved, what their daily job duties are, greatest pressures or satisfying aspects of their job, important skills to acquire and any further advice they can offer you. Ask the teacher or professer if you can sit in and observe one of their classes to see how they truly operate, it’s a great way to learn hands on.
Go around to different daycares in your town or city, many of them are always looking for an extra helping hand. Working in a daycare will give you the kind of learning experience you’ll need to understand how kids function. You’ll also learn the value of patience, or get a good laugh every now and again. If you’re not into the daycare idea, try searching for a summer/day camp counselor job. Many times you get to enjoy the great outdoors and plan fun activities for your attendees.
Finally, become a college tutor or nanny. There are hundreds of locations throughout the U.S. and they hire students with little or no experience to help you. They offer excellent pay (something you might not recieve working at a daycare), flexible hours, and you can tutor in the subject of your pursuit. I hope these tips will benefit those of you who are invested in the educational department. In my opinion, if you have any doubts or anxieties on becoming a teacher I would definetly take a moment to dig deeper into the field to see if it’s something you’re really going to stick with for life.
