It took Karen Zirk two decades to become a science teacher. Her path included obtaining a college degree, dealing with family responsibilities, working at a poultry plant and then as a teller manager at Wachovia bank. Zirk left the banking community, but took her real-life experiences with her. She graduated from the Career Switchers program offered at Blue Ridge Community College and earned her teacher’s certificate. The Career Switchers program is for candidates who have a bachelor’s degree and at least five years of work experience. It offers a “fast track” to getting a teacher’s license. Zirk is now a full-time science teacher for Shenandoah County.
