Posted by tml on 5/28/08 Hi -- I began substitute teaching in MN this year. I have a 4 year degree in Communication. I've enjoyed subbing for the most part, but don't see doing it for the long term. I'm trying to decide if I should pursue a Masters in Education as possibly a reading specialist. I'm 41 yrs. old, have some debt already, married with 2 kids gr. 5 and gr. 3. I want to be home in the summers as my kids get older, I don't want them on their own all the time, and I will need to work. I don't know if it is worth the money and stress to return to school. From these posts, it looks like jobs are hard to come by in MN. If I specialize in ESL or Reading, would that make it easier? harder?
