> Now, for what I'd REALLY like to do. One of two things. Move to
the UK and teach in an all boys school (yes, I'm nuts, would they
even hire me?). Or work at the Lego place either creating new
designs or as a Grand Master Builder (ooh!). Yep, that's the truth--
my goals in life.

Seriously, Richelle, you should look into teaching in the UK after
you've finished the fifth year. The major problem is likely to be
the work permit.
Otherwise, there's a huge shortage of teachers in London (especially
in IT), because teachers wages are too low to get a London mortgage,
or pay Inner London rents without flat sharing. As a result, schools
often hire foreign teachers who want to spend a year or two in
England.
There are also several private schools for the children of U.S.
Expats which follow the U.S. teaching curriculum.
So don't think of it just as a dream. Look into it. It may be more
possible than you think.
