If you are considering a career in teaching, I would
encourage you to sub for a little to see if it is what you
think it would be. Jobs in Plano are competitive, but
anything is possible. Most if not all jobs have been
filled in most places, but I suggest talking to teachers
and going to the SBOE website for more information on all
of the programs. I know my principal won't hire non-
university trained teachers unless he knows them from
subbing (undergrad or post-bac). Good luck!
