What's your degree?

I’ll play, too – this is fun to see the diversity.  My major was in Music and I minored in English, which I’m embarrassed to say to all you who have a much better grasp of the English language than I do.  My advisor was the chair of the English department and she was one sharp-looking lady, whom I really liked, so that took me down the english road.  My brain probably would have done better going down the math road, but Calculus at 8 a.m. nixed that.  

I pretty much settled in the world of computers, doing music on the side, but didn’t settle there until after my forrays in flowers, juice bars, court reporting, and a whole list of others.  I wish I had become a Christian earlier in life, but so glad it happened at all.  Brought my pre-Christian views of children into marriage, but five children later, I couldn’t feel more blessed at this glorious calling.

Biggest regrets?  None of my children play an instrument!!  Go figure…..  

Pursuits I’d explore today?  Natural medicine, although I about feel I should have an honorary degree by now. 😉  I love all things creative and long to be a more productive gardener/homesteader.  Then there’s the culinary world – love to cook with healthy, nutrient-dense food.  And wonderful books, but I suppose that goes for all of us here.

I majored in Early Childhood/Elementary Education. I always felt that the “rules” of traditional school held me back from teaching in a way I knew would work for children.  Homeschooling has given me that option.  Besides what it has done for our family and our children’s education.

This is a fun post!! I have a BA in Sociology/Psychology.  I went to school for Occupational Therapy.  But it was there that I became a Christian.  And I decided that I no longer wanted to do Occupational Therapy.  So I dropped out of the program and got a basic degree so that I could get more ministry training.  There have been times that I regret not finishing my OT degree.  Not because I would want to work full time in that field but because I could have helped support our family by working PRN while my husband went back to school, or in seasons when money was tight.  I have never used my degree in a paying postion but one day I do hope to go back and get a MA is Christian Counseling.  But that will be for latter in life when my kiddos are gone.  

I have a DVM in Veterinary Medicine.  After 8 years of college, a mortgage-sized debt in student loans, 3 children, and 6 miserable years of working outside the home, I realized that God has made me to be a full-time mom and to educate my kids at home.  Who knows, maybe one day when the kids are grown, I can combine the two experiences and do some teaching at a junior college or tech program.  (I’ll have to pay off those loans somehow!)    God bless all you other mom’s out there that have realized your true calling!
