[ Teaching ] Open Question : Teacher desiring MS or even PhD in geology/geochemistry? Advice?

I have my B.A. in Chemistry and I'm finishing up my M.A.T (Master of Arts in Teaching). As I've been looking at high school teaching positions or instructor positions, it seems that nowadays, schools want people who are extremely knowledgeable in their fields and so employers are often looking to see whether teachers have MS degrees in their field.While I like chemistry, I'm not passionate enough about it to desire to complete an MS in it. However, more recently, I discovered that I'm really interested in geology and maybe geochemistry. My question is, what do you think about an MS in geology or geochemistry? What about a PhD? Because PhD programs are free, I'm considering entering one and maybe changing my mindset altogether and teaching at the college level. If I don't decide to do that however, are there other options? Does anyone here have any experience in the fields and can lend some insight? Thanks!

At the 2011 Grammy Awards Rihanna started the night off in a totally sheer Jean Paul Gaultier Haute Couture ruffle gown from the Spring 2011 collection, which left little to the imagination.

[ Friends ] Open Question : How can I make friends at my first job?

I'm 18 and just got hired at Robek's (just like Jamba Juice), and about 7 other people work there during the week. They all know each other and get along really well as friends. My problem is, I suck at making friends. I'm shy and socially awkward. Everyone there seems really cool to become friends with, but I don't know how to become their friend.. what do I do? D:
