Figure it out: Colleges and Universities have graduated thousands more
teachers this year, last year and the year before...exceeding the need for
those teachers. Its that simple....teens who decided to become teachers
never bothered to see if there was really a demand for more teachers and no
one at any College was going to be honest with them. Everything in this
country is a business and when supply exceeds demand...people get hurt.
