[quote=Anonymous]What a bunch of Debbie Downers! Not everyone wants to be a business or STEM major or doctor or lawyer. The teachers where we live are very well paid, by the way. It is a lot of work, but also a lot of reward. We know lots of teachers and they are great at what they do and very committed. Yes, some burn out and move on to other things, but we have many friends, neighbors, and family members who have really enjoyed teaching. Education is one of several majors our DD is considering and frankly one of the reasons we are encouraging it is because there is no shortage of jobs. Also for people who aren’t “desk job” people and/or enjoy being around people and especially kids it can be a good option. My advice would be to try to find a combined MA/5 year program if you can and to look for a school in the state your DC thinks they want to live so when they come out with their degree/credentials/certifications they are ready to teach and live.
