Birthdays

My wife and I just recently both had birthdays. Birthdays are always fun! We both just turned 25 and are both starting to feel old. All of our friends are starting to get married, having children and purchasing homes. Since we are both still in school, we are stuck in this limbo of feeling like we are still college age and shouldn't be concerned with adult problems and choices, but we do. We are already married and are juggling the idea of purchasing a home in the spring. Two out of three, that isn't bad right?

I am also in a limbo at work. I currently love my job and it is an excellent job while I am in school, but I do not see a career path at my current location. I can continue to move up and do well here, but for my education path I do not think that I can use my education at my current job. Unless the company I work for makes some MAJOR technological changes, they do not have much use for someone with a Management Information Systems degree. There is a part of me that really enjoys the hustle and bustle of the business world. I enjoy paperwork, I appreciate the value of the dollar and I have lots of management experience for someone of my age.
On the other hand, I love to help people with technology. I don't want to be an IT person helping with home installs or anything, but I would like to teach. I think that I have a skill with simplifying technology and explaining it in a way that anyone can understand. The good news (and bad news) is that I have plenty of time to decide because I am so far behind in school.
