I feel the need to update this basically since I changed all the colors around and everything. I'm beginning to wonder why I started blogging again anyway. It's not really like anybody reads this crap and it's not like I have anything truly interesting to say. I guess lately I've been thinking of what I want to do with my major and lately I've been thinking of going into education. I'd get my Master's of course as it's only another year of schooling and then teach high school I suppose. How did I concoct this idea out of the blue, you ask? Well it was always in the back of my head and then I saw some poll results showing how little Americans knew in the aggregate about politics. Here's a study the Pew Research Center did back in '08: http://people-press.org/report/319/public-knowledge-of-current-affairs-little-changed-by-news-and-information-revolutions (it's quite fascinating). So I thought that even though there are already tons of teachers out there trying to educate their students, maybe I could go out and educate a few more and maybe even help curve the growing evidence that suggests that Americans might actually be getting less informed about politics as the years progress. And I would like to get a PhD eventually and teach college. I think it might end up being kinda rewarding too. Who knows? I also can't get enough talking about politics so I like the idea of getting paid to educate kids who are forced to listen to me drone on and on about how awesome it all is. I have thought of other career options too: working for a polling firm, working for various candidates on their campaigns, or being a community organizer. We shall see.
And Snow Day tomorrow! So question is: stay up and surf stumbleupon or get a decent night's sleep before work tomorrow?
