> 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.
