Mr. Allen, I was supposed to graduate this past May with my middle grades education degree with an emphasis in ELA and Social Studies. But due to a marijuana possession charge from when I was 21 (I am 26 now) the school would not allow me to complete my student teaching , so I had to change my degree my last semester and graduate with a Bachelors of Interdisciplinary Studies with an emphasis in Social and Behavioral Sciences. I am no eligible for my record to get expunged. Do you have any recommendations on how to try to get back into teaching? I spent 4 years thinking I would teach. I spent over 300 hours in the field. Then I ended up getting screwed by the school bevause they let me know last minute they wouldn't allow me to student teach, even though I took my method courses.

What advice do you have for the younger historians attempting to take this route as their passion and careers?
