Why Do You Want To Be An Education Major?
Personally, I have beef with people that ask me a million and one questions to begin with. So to go as far and question my decision on what I want to for a living, is asking for the hands. Here are things education majors hate being asked or told!

3. Do you plan to teach forever?
Obviously no one plans to do something forever. At least, I HOPE no one plans to be stagnant forever. As for myself, I hope to gradually progress in the education field. I have so many goals within this field that I could honestly dedicated a whole different
