After work I have been studying trying to get my MCDBA certification. After that I want to try my hand at becoming a trainer sicne I liek to speak in front of people.

Just had an interview with a potential employer (a school looking for a full time position) but since i have no teaching experience, they were only able to pay me less than half of what I am making now. less than half…

Big bummer. That would set me waaaay back…like back to my first salary out of school.

I’m wondering if I can even break into that industry with my experience.
