Heh. Because I was going to be a teacher. I have since reevaluated. I love learning and knowledge and being well-informed, but I struggle with the every-day business of scholastics. Being a teacher would require more at least two more years. I'm not willing to put myself through that. I'm going to have a hard enough time just finishing the next year. Teaching also requires a strong comittment to the profession. It's not an 8-4 job. There are hours upon hours of extra work that go into it and I'm not sure that I would enjoy any of it. In short, I'm lazy. While I know that as a chef or baker I will work very hard, it will be done at the end of the day (unless of course I open up my own restaraunt or cafe, but that's a bit too far ahead to think about).
If possible, I might enjoy teaching one or two classes at the local high school for a while, but I definitely don't want to get certified as a teacher. Another indicator that maybe teaching isn't the right career path for me is that I'm in two education classes this quarter and I hate them. *shrugs*
Anyway, I'm pretty excited about the whole culinary school idea. I've already been accepted into the Western Culinary Institute (in Portland) and I'm looking forward to starting. In a year. I'm thinking about beginning at WCI and then transfering elsewhere to fun and intersting locales as London or Paris. :) Now the goal is to get through my final year of college without failing out because of lack of motivation. I want a Bachelor's degree. I'm not quitting now, however much I wish it.
