Hi Brittney,

Working with children is so fun! There are so many opportunities to work with kids besides teaching.

Have you ever though about working at a Children's Museum? Many museum leaders have the opportunity to create experiences for children, or even help run field trips for schools!

Another great opportunity is working in the healthcare industry. You could be a nurse, dental hygienist, or even work in physical therapy services. People in large cities are always looking for nannies to help care for their children, which can be a great way to get your foot in the door working with kids.

As you decide what you'd like to do, I would suggest trying out teaching in a daycare or working at a summer camp to see how you like it. I think you'll be surprised how fulfilling it is!

Good Luck!
