SoP - Career Change?
Posted: Sun Nov 01, 2009 3:49 pm
Okay, so my past few years look really messed up:
(1) Went to undergrad for Physics
(2) Went to masters program for Education as intended
(3) Withdrew from program after 2.5 terms and got an industry job
(4) Left industry job because I moved
(5) Entered a second masters program for Education to finish my original masters degree at a different university
(6) Decided that I did not want to teach at the high school level, but that I wanted to teach at the college level and do research
How do I talk about all of this in my SoP without sounding like a total flake?
