Re: Teaching Shortage Crock!!!
Posted by No Crock here... Urban SoCal on 8/22/06

    When they say shortage- keep in mind it may be in areas you're
    not interested in, but there are shortages. Right now here in
    SoCal any desert outside of L.A. is hurting for teachers because
    of urban sprawl. In L.A. they're hurting because everyone thinks
    it is one vast, gang infested, unsafe area to work in (mind you,
    some of the areas are bad, some good) and the commute is pretty
    bad (2 hours there 2 hours back from 30 miles away.) Math and
    Science teachers: secondary level have a ticket to pretty much
    any school district they want. Spec. Ed teachers, and
    Speech/Language pathologists are also free to look pretty much
    anywhere here. The pay can be great- I'm on the 3rd step of the
    farthest column (masters + 70) making just over 50,000... but the
    trade off is... good luck finding more than a dog house to live
    in for under 1500 a month. (Median price of homes 500,000 +
    here).

    Flip side: a fellow I just worked with this year decided to go to
    Arkansas with his single subject in science. He'll be making as
    much there as he made here. Cost of living is wayyyyyy lower
    there.

    Don't give up. Good luck.
