THE NOISE
Messages from Peers:
You won't earn much money in education. What is it that you really do? Get a real job.
How I responded:
I knew I loved this field and realized it didn't matter ... this is what I wanted to do and where my skills and attributes could be developed and expanded. It's been a wonderful career path!
