For me it was a lot of stumbling. I started, then stopped, and started again. It took me at least 7 years to finish my degree. Thankfully, when training to be a teacher, the only thing they can do wrong is not prepare you enough. I can't think of any way they actually lied. Isn't that sad, to think that we should consider whether we've been lied to or not! :( Shouldn't we be able to trust that the truth is what is presented? I wish it were so!

But I figure it can't hurt to learn about the coming years now. :) I hope my children will have a clear direction when they enter the houses of “higher” education. For me it was a lot of stumbling.
