Re: Teaching positions in Art in Ohio

Wow, that was really harsh Dave!! I am licensed to teach Science and I struggled to find a position. Most of my classmates struggled (many didn't get jobs). Its difficult no matter what you teach. Yes, harder if you teach art, due to the sheer fewer numbers of positions available. FYI Artnj-I took a position in NC and have been really happy. It is a bit expensive to live here, but its not too much more than ohio. Best of luck to you!
