[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Has he thought about teaching at a STEM-focused secondary school? The teachers at my kid’s school seem happy working in this brainy environment. [/quote] Teaching is often thrown around as a fall-back option. There's a reason the shortage exists: it's a [i]much[/i] harder job than people think, even at "brainy" schools like the PP suggests. A first year teacher can expect to work 65 hours a week (or more) for a salary around 55-60K. It's grueling work that can take a major hit on your self esteem during the first years. That being said, if OP's son is up to the challenge this is a good option. I actively encouraged my DD to go into education because I knew she'd have a guaranteed job at graduation and a lot of job security. The pay may be lower, but she'll never be without options. - teacher[/quote]
