During the 15 year hiatus, I took from teaching four and five-year-olds in the public school setting. They changed the certification requirements.
I am not about to go back to school for two years and encounter student debt in the 10’s of thousands when I should be retiring soon.
But my masters degree in ECE and 25+ years of experience in the field apparently don’t count for anything any more 🤷🏻♀️
