yes! you are right. i am trying to decide between an elementary teacher or an accountant.
im looking for another job but nowhere else close to me is hiring bc retail is slow, or so they say
You have to look at long term hiring trends. The population of the United States is aging. Women are having fewer children. It would be a better bet longer term to work as a care worker with aging populations than being an elementary school teacher long term because there will be more demand for caring for the aging.
I've never married but I've observed how people in my social circle have done weddings over the years. The best weddings were the ones done on the beach in Hawaii.
Here's how it works....the couple goes to Hawaii and gets married. The only people who attend the wedding are the couple themselves, the person presiding over the ceremony, a photographer, and a videographer. That's all you need. Then the couple stays in Hawaii for the honeymoon for 7-14 days after. Good times!
The beach weddings I have been to, the ceremony was on the beach and the reception was elsewhere. Sometimes not even ON the beach.
I heard of ppl doing that. But I def want mine on the beach, in the evening with the table all pretty and lit up. I have been coming up w/ a menu but its not perfect or anything. Since it's on the beach I was thinking barbecue and champane. And for appetizers like little sandwiches and pigs in a blanket. I couldnt really think of any beachy foods but that's how I want the reception to go.
The one thing I am struggling with is THE DRESS. I want something like a princess but if its gonna be on a beach then I might not want something that heavy maybe something simple with straps.

Here's the thing. At a lot of public beaches, that's just not possible. You can't just set up tables and chairs and have a reception in the middle of a public beach. Not sure what part of the country you live in, but here in Florida that is just NOT possible. The entire coast line is public property. Some resorts have beachfront property that leads up to the water, so that would be an option, but expect to pay tens of thousands of dollars to do this. You will also be forced to use their catering and alcohol (read: more $$$). Also some really old beachfront houses have been turned into B&B's and rent out their "back yard" for such, but the ones I have seen are very small.
Also alcohol (including champaigne) is also forbidden on a lot of beaches by law. And glass too (wine/champagne glasses)
Not to deter you, but the actual mechanics of doing something like this are a little harder than you probably think.

Well ppl eat and have picnics on the beach and park their cars. Why not have a meal there? And ppl being alcohol to the beach all the time. I don't have to have alcohol tho, we could just have sparkling juice or something.

I agree with winterlover. There is a huge difference between a family or a group of 5 or 6 friends bringing a picnic basket to the beach and sitting on towels or blankets and having a snack or meal and bringing tables & chairs (which do not stand up very well in sand) and food for a larger group of people.
Now, a picnic lunch on the beach for 10 or so people might work out but any more than that would be very difficult.
After you visit a few beaches you would see the difficulty in trying to do something like this on your own. Perhaps, there are parks near a beach where the rental fee for using their picnic tables & picnic area would be fairly low.

WEell it might not be that many people. I don't have anyone to invite except my mom and my sister and they could bring the kids. So it depends on my fiances family I guess.But there probably wont be that many ppl.

These are PUBLIC beaches not fancy private ones.
Again, while it's fun to dream, it would be wiser to plan a way to get out of your current living situation rather than plan a wedding when you do not currently have a boyfriend or a fiance.
