Masters program. I live and teach in a state where we have to obtain a masters level degree within a decade of obtaining a full time job. I plan to go on to doctoral level, for the pay raise and to get the doctorate title. I'm a music teacher, though! And yes, substituting my first year has definitely helped me learn how to discipline better, though I look at it more as classroom management. I want to avoid discipline as much as possible.

It's actually going really well. I enjoy it a lot. I can't wait to have a full time job, though! Thanks for the response. I wonder how this holds over into different areas.

How did you decide what you were going to research on? I will be a teacher within the coming year (substituting for now) and gaining my masters degree will become an issue within the next decade, though in a very different topic.
