Crossroads

-Picture I took of downtown Pittsburgh a few summers ago from my friend's boat

I feel as though my life is at a complete crossroads. As many of you know my current job will be ending this coming Monday, and I am not sure what direction I am going to go in. I have gone on a few interviews, but the teaching market in Pittsburgh is fierce and English/Social Studies jobs are few and far between. I will continue to tutor throughout the summer and as I wait to see what comes along. I have debated whether or not go to go back to school for a Master's Degree, something I have wanted to do for a while now; but the question is what for? Do I go for a Master's in Humanities, English, History, Education, Writing, Curriculum, or attempt a whole new career path. The possibilities and choices are truly endless.

I know writing is a passion of mine (this blog has helped me to remember that), but I am not sure if I could develop a career from it. Education has always been a passion of mine as well- which is why I got into teaching in the first place. I enjoy learning and sharing the joy of learning with others- so I do not think I am ready to give up teaching completely, but it would be nice if a full time teaching job would come my way. I know over the next few months I will have many decisions to make regarding my future, some in my control and some out of my control. I know that I am talented and capable and I know that I will do great things, the question is just what path will lead me there?
