QUESTION: That is not how I feel. I love the education field. However, it feels like becoming a doctor with all of the requirements.
Answer Yep, I know how you feel. But, unfortunately that's the nature of the profession. You still need to take classes even after you get your credential - called professional development. But, learning is a lifelong process.
