Careers

If you would like a career where you can make a difference, consider teaching or one of the many other professions in Education.

A particularly high need exists for teachers in Mathematics, Science, and Special Education, and for speech and language specialists. As a prospective teacher in any field, you can make yourself more employable by being flexible – in the geographic areas where you’ll teach, in the grades and subjects you’re willing to teach, and by being willing to sponsor extra-curricular activities. You might wish to consider teaching at the middle school level, where rapid enrollment growth is taking place. If you’re interested in School Administration, you can also look forward to excellent employment opportunities.

In addition to positions for elementary, high school, and special education teachers, the field of Education offers many opportunities for related employment, from pre-K through college: counselors and school psychologists, Marriage and Family Therapists, reading specialists, library media specialists, school administrators, and professionals in student development in higher education. Other professionals employed in the schools include speech and language specialists, school social workers, and teachers of adults.
