The College Dropout
For what it is worth, here is the latest on my return to college situation. My experience with UK has been frustrating. My counselor, although a very nice lady, still couldn't tell me as of two weeks ago which of my previous college classes were going to transfer. I have been working with her for about a year now. Then, I arrived at my first class only to be greeted with no professor. The positive out of the situation is that part of my UK program involved some classroom volunteer time. I arranged to volunteer with a teacher that Jonathan had last year. He told me about a program at Morehead State University and put me in touch with the director of the Master of Arts in Education program. It is a program designed specifically for people who already have a degree in something and want to get their teaching certificate. I will go to school (once I start full time) for a year or two depending on my class load. At the end, I will not only have my teaching certificate, I will also have my masters degree. And, if you can believe it, I can actually go to work as a teacher as soon as I want as long as I am enrolled in the program. So, for a lot less time and money, I end up with a much better end result. I have dropped my UK class and am now preparing to take what amounts to a math placement test that will be used in place of countless math classes I would have had to take at UK.

Sounds like you've found a good fit in that program. Good luck!
Glad you figured out a better route to go!
