How does one make the career tansition from being an attorney to being an elementary special education teacher?
My wife is an elementary school teacher and made a similar career transition a few years ago. It’s different for everyone, of course, but she’s been thrilled with her decision and never looked back. There’s really just one main pro to teaching, and it applies even more so to special education: you’ll be doing one of the most needed jobs in the most noble profession, and it will FEEL GREAT! You’ll really be making a difference in people’s lives (not that that’s not possible to do as an attorney, of course). You’ll get to mold and shape young minds, help them grow and develop, and add genuine substance to their knowledge and character. It’s an old cliche, but it’s true: you will make a difference. The cons? The cons depend entirely on your personality and particular situation. Some would say that there are major financial cons, but if money isn’t a problem for you then that won’t really apply. Working with children can be extremely tiring, and, at times, frustrating. The No Child Left Be
