Hello,

I am a current business education teacher. I regretfully wish that I would have pursued French Education right out of high school. Instead...I made the mistake of going into Business.

Thanks.

Current Ohio Teacher Do you mean the overall teacher job market....or the French teacher job market in particular? I've always heard foreign language teachers are in high demand, but I realize that Spanish is the main foreign language. Thanks!
