> Sherri: Where are you going to school, and what is your major? Am I
misinterpreting what you're saying, or is your professor discouraging you
from becoming an art teacher? I can see that it's important to know some
of what happens in other classrooms, but it doesn't make sense that they
would tell you that you will "most likely" lose your job as an art teacher.
