Rubin’s questions are:

    “What am I waiting for?
    What would I do if I weren’t scared?
    What steps would make things easier?
    What would I do if I had all the time and money in the world?
    What is the worst, and the best, that could happen?”

    I don’t know about you, but Rubin’s questions challenged me.

    Whether you can teach and do a Master’s Degree at the same time is another thing! I know some teachers who are doing this, but not many with three children. That would be a big workload.

    You will be busy!

I resigned from my job in a cruise liner when I got married in 2001. My husband and I owns a small walk-in grocery store which we put up in 2001 after we got married. We both took turns in being the cashier but we hired somebody last year to fill up the position. We both planned to work abroad in 2008 but it never happened. I kept thinking of how the kids will do if I will be away so I disregarded the option of going abroad. Just recently, a friend who teaches in college told me to consider to try teaching in college and take a masteral course which is of course a requirement. I know I can do it but I don't know where to start. I don't have a household help but my mother could look after my kids if i pursue with my plans. Should I take a masteral course first before teaching or should I do both at the same time? I still have hesitations about this. Please enlighten me. Dear Ms. Julie,
