Education
Ray Hutton was a police officer for years until an injury on-the-job forced him to retire. Ray found a new passion in teaching and since then, has incorporated the lessons he has learned throughout his life and as a police officer to bring his lessons to life and apply real-world situations to his students. In his interview, Ray shares his experiences going after a career in teaching later on in life, and the challenges that coincided with that. He details his days as a police officer and what lessons he took away from it all that help him as a teacher. He also speaks about his various teaching jobs, from the small towns of Hawaii, to the inner-city of Pittsburgh, to world of online education. Ray is an advocate for going after whatever makes you happy. We live in a world where there are so many options out there, so just because one chapter closes for you, doesn't mean another can't open up. Follow your passion, and the rest will fall into place.
