hello ladies!

 

well, my college graduation is looming in the next 50-60 days (who's counting??) right before scott and i get married! :)

 

so basically, i am on the job hunt, but i'm stalled. i started college as an early childhood education major, but recently switched to youth & community studies (also within the college of education). this switch means i do not have a teaching certificate, which is okay because i'm not sold on teaching...i'm annoyed with current education system (this is a whole 'nother topic! ha) SO this brings me to...what am i going to do with my degree??

 

i know FOR SURE i want to work with children/youth in some way. nonprofits are looking interesting, but i'm not sure of the availability and my qualifications for these types of jobs. i'm super interested in working at like a children's museum or something like that.

 

my question for you gals is: ANY IDEAS? haha any suggestions/advice would be awesome! thanks for letting me vent!!

I feel ya! I graduated in August and have not started the job search yet, so I'm not too much help... but I know how much it sucks to try to decide what you want to do. I couldn't do it, so FI and I decided that I should put it off til after the wedding. Right now I have a really flexible part time job with a children's magazine publisher. I have been there about a year and I am starting to work on our marketing stuff... It's not exactly what I want to do with my life, but the job is giving me some good experience in a a different field.

How about an entry-level fundraising/development job at a children's nonprofit. That's what I did after college and now I am a political/nonprofit fundraising consultant. You'll never be unemployed and if you're good at it you can make a difference and make decent money for nonprofit work and have a good work-life balance.

      Cabo Azul Wedding Cost / Review

      By Emmma · Posted

      Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!

      Wedding venues and wedding planner in Costa Rica

      By KristinaH · Posted

      Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
