Depending on what area of secondary ed. you are certified in,
you can find a job in math or science. I have a friend with
a social studies cert. and he is still looking for a
permanent teaching position three years later!
As for elementary ed., there are far too many with this. A
friend of mine is a principla in a K-6 school, and he said
that he has generally at least 50+ applications on file for
positions that are not even advertised! I know of people who
are still looking (or have given up looking) for an elem. job
for a few years now. Plus, you should make sure that CVT
will accept your cert - you may have to take the Praxis II or
do other coursework - CT can be hard to get certified in.
