[quote=Anonymous]For my last two APs, I've only looked at candidates who had lots of experience with kids and who wanted a kid-related career in the future. This year I'm seeing a lot of candidates that have lots of experience but that are going to law school or business school or want to be translators or something totally unrelated to kids. They seem to be very driven and definitely do like being with children, but I'm wondering if it matters that they are pursuing studies that are unrelated to Childcare. Incidentally, my first AP wanted to work in a foster home and did just that after her year. She was amazing. Our second said she wanted to be a teacher, but I now realize she's kind of aimless and just said teacher because it seemed like it would be fun. I don't think working with children is going to be her thing. So my assumption didn't work for me this year anyway. Have your best APs necessarily been ones that have wanted child-related jobs after their year or not?[/quote]
