What is the best job to have in the education field? I would like to become a teacher and would like some idea |
of what is a good area to go into?primary or secondary special needs,speech pathalogy,phys ed,library i am pretty open to anything right now. I would suggest teaching whatever subject area you enjoy most. I teach Language Arts, which I would not recommend if you do not like reading and writing. We probably have the largest paper load of all the subjects. At any point in time, I have between 50 - 125 papers to grade. Frankly, that part of the job stinks, but because I love literature, it's worth it. My husband teaches special education, and he loves that because he enjoys working with the students, whose disabilities range from ADD to multiply handicapped to emotionally disturbed. My mother-in-law, father-in-law, and brother-in-law all teach physical education. I envy them in a lot of ways. They seem to have a different relationship with the students than "regular" teachers have. One of my friends (also a gym teacher) says that "phys-ed is the best kept secret in education," which it is, in a way. However, they have much larger class sizes than classroom teachers, and I don't know if I could handle the chaos of kids all over. I have friends in pretty much all the subject areas, and they all enjoy it because they are teaching something that they love. School psychologist Counselor,special ed If you would like a job for life in education, become a special education teacher. Special ed teachers are always in need pretty much across the country. Secondary math and science teachers are also a pretty good choice. Good luck. Some of the big growth areas where you'll be most likely to have a large selection of job offers include... 1. Administration (principal, etc.) 2. Elementary Reading/Writing specialist 3. Special Needs / Inclusion specialist 4. Psychometrics - studying how to measure intelligence and learning (the testing industry is big $$$) I've taught for over 20 years... many of my friends did not get teaching positions because they weren't willing to relocate. If you're willing to move to where the jobs are, you can almost go into anything. Be advised the Physical Education jobs are hard to come by... I mean, one gym teacher might handle all grades K-8 in a small building. Special Education teachers are in high demand... but be advised the burn-out rate is high as well. If you have a favorite subject, get your certificate in it for as wide a grade range as possible... preferably K-12. If you really want to increase your chances, we really need more Math and Science teachers. special education, occupational and physical therapy, speech pathology |
