I was interested in trying to work with or teach gifted children. I'm going to be a senior next year and I'm trying to figure out a career. Would this be a terrible idea?
Answer
Most jobs are in the teaching sector. Teaching gifted children is definitely fun, but they also can have behavior issues related to being gifted. However, given decent classroom management and an intriguing curriculum, you shouldn't have a problem.
Gifted children also participate in a Odyssey of the Mind, an international competition and learning program. You could also get a job with them because they are nationwide. Also, go to the National Association for Gifted Children website as well as the National Society for the Gifted and Talented to find out more about the field.
Your very best bet for working with these children is to get a K-12 teaching credential in your state and then as you get closer to graduation, begin to work on a gifted credential. I say this because almost all teaching jobs these days, even special education, require teachers to be "highly qualified," which means you have to be able to teach reading, written language and math and you must pass a state test to prove it. By getting this out of the way, you are then pretty prepared to teach anything you might want, including gifted.

Thank you gift for new job?

A teacher from college invited me to join him on a new job in a company where he works at. He helped me out to fix my resume, he told me everything about the interview like what to say and stuff. Now I got the job because all his help.
He is my boss now and I want to say thanks with a gift or something.
Now that I received my first check...Is it correct if I buy him a gift as appreciation and gratitude?
Thanks for all your comments
Answer
Because he's the boss, giving a gift could violate company rules and could get your benefactor in trouble.
I strongly suggest you take him to lunch as a thank you.
If you don't have enough time during the work day, make arrangements for drinks after work or a lunch on Saturday.
I'd avoid dinner because that can be considered too personal (like a date).
At the very least (and this is a MUST), send him a personal thank you note for his good will and assistance.
