Hello
Me:
-24
-Live in Ohio.
-3 semesters of Mechanical Engineering
-6 semesters of Middle Childhood Education
-Have not completed a degree, for a few reasons.
--1. I was at the point in the education degree where I needed to go into schools, and my head wasn't all in it. Not that I was getting bad grades, I just didn't want to commit to in-school work and not be giving it 100% of my effort.
--2. The thought of a traditional teaching job weighs heavily on my soul. While I love to teach, it's not what I want to do. The confinement, the babysitting, the politics, etc.
-I've worked at a Boy Scout camp in PA for 11 summers. 95% of the time I've worked in the outdoor skills area, being the director of that area for six summers. I run the area, train and supervise three staff members, teach merit badges, and do other various camp jobs. I love it, and it's what I look foward to during the year.
I need to find a 'real job' similar to this position; chances are this job will require a degree.
This is where I need help : ) I've begun researching 'Outdoor Education' degrees, and ones similar, but know nobody to talk to about them. If you have any experience/opinions concerning these degrees and the universities that they are available from, please help me out.
If you'd rather not post your response on the forum you can reach me via email or private message. I thank you in advance for your time, it means a lot to me.
