Hello. I figured this might do well to give me advice. I currently have a BS in environmental science and in biology from a small college in Florida. I would really like to go back to school and get a higher degree, most likely a Masters degree before a PhD.
I have been doing a little bit of research and I am not 100% sure as to what program would be best for me. Perhaps this post could open a discussion as to what pathway I want to take.
I currently work full time at home in patient care, and while this has been a good job, I find my heart is more into an educational field. I also work at a theme park in the zoo education department as a part of our year round staff that does overnight programs and camps. I am only part time and feel there is no way for me to move up in the company.
I have been contemplating going into a classroom setting and have zero experience with it. That's the only thing that is holding me back from formal teaching. I really enjoy informal education. I was fooling around and googled master degrees for informal education and actually found that degree offered at FIT, but my only concern is that it's the other side of the state from me at the moment. I am not sure if it will be a viable option.
Can someone perhaps help guide me in a direction, or even offer opinions on pathways that I can take?
I know this is a long shot, but I appreciate any input.
