I was just talking to a woman who got her Master's in Education (just like I did),  has been substitute teaching for over two years (which I did), and cannot secure a job (yep, been there...). I feel her frustration about spending the time and money to get an education but not being able to find a job in her field. It seems like a common story that I hear on a regular basis.  But, for me, it was a blessing in disguise.  I decided to stop waiting for someone else to make my career decision for me and take control of my professional destiny. I guess it's true what they say...all things happen for a reason. Choose to be happy!
