"I have a variety of interests, in addition to being a preschool teacher. If I could not be a preschool teacher, I would say that I would explore further opportunities as a music or art therapist for children."

"That is a challenging question! I cannot imagine being anything other than a preschool teacher. If I had to choose another career path, I would choose a career in the arts. I always had a penchant for acting and never did chase that dream. This dream is part of the reason why I so greatly enjoy teaching acting and music to my young students."

The interviewer would like to know what other career interests you may have. A hiring manager will be able to tell a lot about your personality by learning about your other career interests. If you could do anything over, what would you do, and why?

"I certainly do not regret the direction I have taken my career; however, if I had to start over in a new direction completely, I would likely pursue my Degree in Design and become an interior designer. I enjoy decorating and creating comfortable spaces."

My passion is teaching preschool. I wake up each day, excited to go to work. When I am not at work, I think about my job and my students. However, if I were never introduced to teaching, I would most likely work as a forensic investigator. I love forensics and detective work. I share my love for science and forensics with my preschool students.

The way you tied forensics and science into your job as a preschool teacher is perfection! Well done :)
