I wanted to commet to Tammy who wants to be a Principal. I can see you are much more interested in administration than I am, but we are both working to help students in school. Maybe someday I will think about going for my masters and persuing that as well. I noticed that you will be makeing more money than I am too. The aveage wage in Texas is around $70,000, but the national average is about $86,000.000. Maybe I should look a little closer at that. Good luck

(Sample)Career Path Physician
Hi my name is Sharon and my chosen career path is Physician either Family General Practitioner or Internist. Either way, it takes a lot of education and dedication. To start with, you must have a four year college degree, then a four year degree from a medical school. After that you have to do three years of residency. I was able to get this information for the Choices program at Career Services.

I would like to make a comment to Toni. about about being a Physical therapist. I was very surprised to see that Physical therapists only need a master's degree from an accredited physical therapy program and a State license, requiring passing scores on national and State examinations. I think you will be working 5 years before I will. It sounds like a great option, how much money do they make, and what kind of hours do they have to keep?
