I'm hoping to earn a bachelor's degree starting this fall. I would like to pursue becoming a K-12 teacher, preferably either Art or Kindergarten. I think I'd be well suited for either in a lot of ways. I'm passionate about art, and I would really love to nurture and encourage little kids.
I would prefer to be an art teacher, but upon doing a little research I'm seeing it being said that becoming an art teacher could be really competitive and you need to advocate for yourself and your program and stuff like that. I've also heard it said that can be really challenging being a kindergarten teacher (albeit very rewarding.)
I generally have extremely little self confidence and no support from a community or anything. I'm feeling pretty lost and discouraged. I can't imagine myself "advocating" for myself or entering a highly competitive field, though I know that's what college is for. And I also just worry that if it's so hard to get chosen, maybe they'll see me with no experience in my 40's and choose someone younger or with a more advanced degree. And not only that, but everyone always talks about how little teachers make.
I just feel lost, I guess, and discouraged. Thank you for any insight, I really, really appreciate it!
