[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. She will most likely not go to grad school. She is an average student and will most likely to go just undergrad. We don't live in DC any longer - moved out of state 5 years ago for a job and don't like it here, so she doesn't reallly want to stay in state, and I am fine with that.

At first she thought she wanted to go to school in Florida and teaching is one career possibility, but when I thought about it, it doesn't make sense to go to Florida for a teaching degree unless you want to stay in Florida. I doubt she knows where she wants to live after college.

We were also thinking of schools in the mid-atlantic (from PA to VA) because that's where we're from but I looked at Towson's website, and of course, if you go there, they prepare you for the Maryland teaching requirements. That's what made me post the questions.

Thanks for the responses so far.[/quote]

For teaching, yes - you should probably think about wanting to maybe work there.  Just because you will intern in some schools in the area.  That said, Florida pays their teachers terribly and they have a massive shortage.  I would reconsider.  Truly looking into cost of living vs wages earned.  [/quote]
