As long as I can remember, I always wanted to be a teacher or work with children. For the past 26 years, I have been working in that capacity. I was recently asked what do I want to do after I retire or next in my career. I know I am not the type of person to just stay home after I retire but I don't know anything else but education.

He is struggling with what to do because there are many things he enjoys doing but isn't sure if he wants to make any of them a career.I have a few more years before I decide but I would like to have a plan before I hand over the school's keys to someone else. When I grow up I think I will be a.......
