I meant the opposite actually- early childhood education classes is something EVERYONE I know seems to be going for because they think it is easy..

and well, it's not so easy finding a job for it when there is so many people already doing it. Kinda goes and bites you in the butt.
And I get your point, but sometimes you also need to do something you don't like in order to do something you do like. But then again, that's something you kinda have to figure out for yourself- no one can force you into things. And yeah while bad decisions suck, they're there also to remind you not to make the same mistake twice and move forward. Everyone's made bad decisions at some point.
