A Master's Degree makes you more expensive, which,
ironically, will most likely work against you. As will your
years of experience. There are opportunities, but you will
most likely need an "in" in the district.

Teachers are electing to stay put longer, so not as many
retiring. And many districts are electing not to fill
positions as teachers do retire, but re-shuffle instead due
to the economy. All districts are being affected. And then,
of course, there's the retire/rehire situation...

All in all, it is tough to be looking for a teaching job in
Ohio. There are ALWAYS charter school opportunities, but I
have heard nightmares about those experiences.

Good luck.
