Re: Health Teachers? Help!

I just graduated with my Master's in School Healh Education from
Southern CT State University & I'm having such a hard time
finding a job. Most of the positions (which there isn't even
many) are looking for dual PE/Health certification. It's really
frustrating that I spent so much time & money & put in such an
effort & I feel like there are so many obstacles & challenges
already in my way. I wish I had known that a lot of school
districts are preferring the dual certification; I would have
gone for Community Health Education or Public Health. Oh well..it
is what it is & I just have to make the best out of it!
