Message: [QUOTE="Minicoop69, post: 5194644, member: 4323"] Depends on where you are located. I am in Indiana, but started school at CCSU before transferring to Purdue after I moved. If I would have known how teaching has changed in my 17 years of doing it and how the pay isn't keeping up with the work involved, I would have chosen something else. I'm halfway done with my career and the only couple saving graces are that summers off with my 2 young girls are awesome and being on the same schedule with them is pretty nice. If you have a significant other and they make a decent amount, then I would say try it and if it doesn't work then get out and go back to something else. It isn't for everyone and you need thick skin nowadays. Also depending on where you are you would need to take the Praxis subject test to get licensed in whatever subject and also have a teaching certificate if you don't already have one. In Indiana you just need to pass the Praxis subject test in order to teach. [/QUOTE]
