First Year Teachers in Texas..?

Question

Was it difficult to find a job as a new teacher out of college?

More specifically, I am almost finished with my basics and am trying to decide between a Social Studies or English degree with Teacher's Certification. To my understanding, there is an abundance of Social Studies/History teachers? What are some personal experiences with this?

Thanks for your help!

Answer 2

i live in el paso and yes, it's been really hard to find a job in this area. i still have not secured a position even though i started applying for places and dropping off my resume all the way back in March 2008.

i'm told there are more teachers and there are teaching jobs. if you want to teach middle school or high school, it's a lot easier because people generally prefer working with young, elementary school children. i know i do.
