<div dir="ltr">Hi everyone,<br><br>I joined the list to see what I could learn although I am not yet in this field. I would love to make a career change to environmental education, though, and wondered if anyone could give me some advice.<br>
<br>I was looking at going for a Masters in biology (going for a second Bachelor's would actually cost me more as it would have to come entirely out of my own pocket). I am considering getting certified as a secondary teacher at the same time, which would add about a year to the program.<br>
<br>My eventual goal would be to work at an environmental center rather than in a secondary school (although I'm also considering research). I feel like the options in my area may be limited and I need to keep them open, which is part of the reason for teacher certification. (I am also interested in ecopsychology, but I don't see that as something that could be a full-time career, rather more of a subset of a psychology practice.)<br>
<br>So, my first question is, can anyone make sense out of my confusion and give me advice on my possible education choices?<br><br>My second question is, I live in northwest PA, and it seems a little quieter up here compared to others regions in the state. (I would like to stay up here if possible after graduating.) Anyone from the area?<br>
<br>Thanks so much, and sorry to make this such a long first post!<br><br>Stephanie<br></div>
