Ever Feel Like a Thread Killer? (14)

From the looks of it you have to further enroll into Master Degree course work to teach…I’m confuzzled…

I thought Master’s level classes were for if you wanted to teach at college level?

Here is Wikapedia’s interpretation of a Millwright, long winded, but Secksay as all hell!

A typical job description for an industrial Millwright often includes the primary purposes of installing, maintaining, upgrading and fabricating machinery and equipment according to layout plans, blueprints, and other drawings in industrial establishment.

Millwrights in the power generation industry assemble, set, align and balance turbines/rotors. Millwrights also perform critical lifts involving major components to be flown level at up to and within .005â?? (5 thousandths of an inch). Millwrights are generally chosen to work on tasks associated with flying and setting heavy machinery.

Millwrights are usually responsible for the unassembled equipment when it arrives at the job site. Using hoisting and moving equipment, they position the pieces that need to be assembled. Their job requires a thorough knowledge of the load bearing capabilities of the equipment they use as well as an understanding of blueprints and technical instructions.

Millwrights must be able to read blueprints and schematic drawings to determine work procedures, to construct foundations for and to assemble, dismantle and overhaul machinery and equipment, using hand and power tools and to direct workers engaged in such endeavors. The use of lathes, milling machines and grinders may be required to make customized parts or repairs. In the course of work, millwrights are required to move, assemble and install machinery and equipment such as shafting, precision bearings, gear boxes, motors, mechanical clutches, conveyors, and tram rails, using hoists, pulleys, dollies, rollers, and trucks. In addition, a millwright may also perform all duties of general laborer, pipefitter, carpenter, and electrician. A millwright may also perform some of the duties of a welder, such as arc welding, mig welding and oxyacetylene cutting.

Millwrights are also involved in routine tasks, such as lubrication of machinery, bearing replacement, seal replacement, cleaning of parts during an overhaul and preventative maintenance.

Millwrights also must have a good understanding of fluid mechanics (hydraulics and pneumatics, and all of the components involved in these processes, such as valves, cylinders, pumps and compressors.

Now that I got you all hot and bothered…How’s 'bout that pizza?

I have a few friends who are teachers … a couple high school level and a few who are elementary

They all have to (in Massachusetts mind you) be enrolled in Masters level courses a few years after they begin teaching (I want to say within 10 years but all of them enrolled earlier than that … probably within 5 years). It’s a requirement now for teachers to obtain their Masters … but not as an entry level teacher. It probably differs from state to state however.

I’m one step ahead of you on the Googling Mr. Edgy! Sounds sexy as hell to me since I’m surrounded by girly men at my office. Their idea of working with their hands is t…y…p…i…n…g

hmm, becoming a teacher sounds hard…not sure if I have the time or money :frowning:
As it is it took me 6 years to complete my Associates, lol…

The hubby is encouraging me to look into starting my own in home trainer bizz.

AHHHH, I need to go dead lift…

Yeah I get the idea of getting a Masters after you start working but she made it sound as though it was a requirement to teach right out of the gate. That can’t be right? My mom was a teacher in Michigan and for each Masters she received a $6,000 annual pay increase.

No, you don’t need your masters to start teaching in public institutions (high school and below) … Shit, you don’t even need your bachelors to teach at some private school. MiM, if you wanna teach, teach. If you want to be a teacher DO IT.

^ oh ok, phew! Thanks…

This is the last requirement for that program that left me confused(the last couple sentences)

PES 573 - PE/HLTH Meth:Con/Strat/Impl Credits: 2.00

Topics include lesson design, classroom management, student assessment, curriculum content, and school district health services. ***Prerequisite: Admission to MTE Program.

Check with your state, but here in Massachusetts you don’t automatically have to enroll immediately into Masters classes…

I’ll swoop in heah to astound the ladies w/ mah amazingness. (no raisins or lemonade included)
Saturday:
Fruit Salad, Seafood omelette, toast and half of my daughter’s unfinished waffle for brunch.
Espresso.

An ‘easy’ 4km hike in to Skoomchuck Narrows, (not my pic, we left the camera in the truck) (with the 25lb lump in the backpack)
I taught my daughter the ‘proper’ way to boulder. (She had hiked most of the way in, by herself) I carried her out of the park in the backpack (4kms + the lad for the last km when my wife couldn’t carry him, because he started to toss in his sleep)

Had a hot tub, shower, and silly-good meat-lover’s pizza.
Drove over to a meeting place, and opened the front door as a beer bottle was being opened. I said “Good, I’m just in time.” and had the bottle handed to me. (It was one of the Mexican beers that shall remain un-named, like the vampire movie, but the set up was too perfect, so I enjoyed it)

Later we headed back to the B&B, and for the second night in a row, both kids remained on the bed in the other room, behind 2 closed doors for the entire night.
…which meant… my wife’s first one was good. Her second led to tears of joy. By her third I had to cover her mouth. I got a little selfish and started thinking about MY needs after that, so she may have done more, but I wasn’t really paying attention.

So yeah, I’ve kind of had Ironman and Cowboy as my mental theme music for the last day and a half or so.

^doh.

haha, I don’t have a ‘state.’ We’re here until DEC 2012 and then who knows where we are going next!

for that particular program in order to complete it, you have to also enroll in there Masters Program…or at least thats the way I am reading it.

Meh, I just look a little fatter I think. I’m up to 195-200 and I can still grab the rim (basketball hoop) so I didn’t get that fat, but let me get this summer worth of focused workouts in and then i’ll oblige.
