Does a background in education at all look good on a medical school application? I graduated undergrad two years ago with a 3.7 GPA in Psychology, and I've been an ESL teacher ever since. I taught ESL for a year to blind students in a very poor part of China, followed by a year teaching elementary students in a low-income neighborhood in Rhode Island.
I'm starting my pre-med track this Fall, taking biology at HES, and I expect to be applying to medical school in about 2 years. In the meantime, I want to be working in a field that I can use on my med school application, but the only well-paying jobs I can find are teaching ESL.
Is my only option volunteer work, or does anyone know of people who have used their background in education in their favor?
