I knew the ministry training, but @happycrazycon, trained in Biotechnology??!! That's amazing and something I totally didn't know about!

Hahahaha I hid that so well that it has no trace on me anymore, @lynncoyle1 :P I have totally lost touch with what's in the Biotechnology field now. I may still remember some knowledge (not much) but I am pretty sure I will ruin the lab works if I get in LOL.
haha that's funny @happycrazycon! Isn't interesting what we think we want to do when we're younger, compared to when we are older. That's why I never pushed too much on my senior students the idea of "what do you want to do after high school?"...too much pressure and most of us had no idea at that age 😂
You are absolutely right on this, @lynncoyle1! We actually don't know our potentials and how much we can offer to the world until we get out there. Even raising children can become a very noble "job", taking care of home and someone you love is one too! <3
You said it @happycrazycon! Motherhood has taken a bit of slam over the years in terms of considering a job, but once you do it...well let me just say it was the hardest job I've ever had 😎 but totally worth it!!
Being a homeschooler, many assume I'm against higher education. I have friends who are amazing teachers, but I also have acquaintances who admit they're in it for the vacation days and benefits. They don't out the extra time in that the 'good' teachers do. Anyway,my point however,is that I went to college,my husband did not, but he supports us and makes more than most of my friends who got their degrees. I believe most kids should take a year or two off before going to college and getting into debt and having to declare a major without actually working in the field they're studying for.
Those teacher who are in it for the vacation days drive me crazy! I poured my heart and soul into because I believe it is such an important job. I actually have kids, now adults, who stay in touch with me because of it :) But my sons can now count on one hand the "good" teachers they had going through the public school system. I totally get homeschooling.
I agree with your idea about kids taking time off too. Both of my sons have done that; one is 20 and going to college in September, the other 23 and still working at a good job that he enjoys, which is totally fine with me. I'm glad they didn't incur all kinds of debt for something they're not going to use...or like.
