Ever since I started college, I knew that I wanted to teach English abroad at some point in my life, preferably right after college.
Now that I am switching schools, I need to change my major and I’m debating whether or not to change my major to English with a concentration in teaching english as a foreign language.
I have no idea if I would be a good teacher. My aunt is a teacher, my mom is a teacher, my dad was a teacher.
I don’t have any patience and I hate going to school myself. I mean I love learning, I just hate the actual education system. I wouldn’t have to deal with America’s education system while I was abroad and I could use those skills to work with non profits when I finally settle down whether that be here or not.
I’m just scared that I would be the worst teacher ever and I don’t want to be stuck with this job if I don’t like it.
That is why I hate college and the fact that you need a degree to determine your future. Maybe I could just major in whatever and then get a TEFL certification, but then why the heck am I even at college when I can just get a certification?
I don’t know I need to think about it more.
but I just don’t think I would be a good teacher.
I know I could be creative enough to make all the lessons, but I don’t even know if I am good with kids. My little cousins all love me, but that is family you know?
Maybe if I got a tutoring job I could see how that went?
