L,
Teaching is a great career. I have friends who are teachers and they are very
content people. They make good salaries (for 8 months of work) and have great
benefits. My plan is to get into finance, probably sales. Im awaiting an
offer of employment from a national investment firm. If I dont get that, then
maybe I'll wander the desert for a few years and contemplate the meaning of
life.
