Don’t procrastinate! That was always my weakness in college, many a late night because I waited until the last second...

Also, kudos to you if you actually do end up being a principal. I use to think I wanted to do that, but after I became a teacher... there is no way in hell I would ever become an administrator. Their jobs are rough... they basically have to deal with the worst students and the worst parents all day long... I’m happy in the classroom, plus, I get the summer off unlike the administrators...

Yeah I just want to be a principal because that's where the real money is in education (also I do have somewhat of a passion for it), and I've looked at the salary schedules for teachers of some school districts i'm interested working in, and I just have a hard time imagining being able to genuinely support myself, let alone anyone else I might pick up in my life. I would love to be a teacher for my whole career and may very well end up doing that, but I just might end up struggling a little.
