Attention Physical Education Teachers!What age group would you recommend teaching and how do you like your job

We Answered:

In my area, PE jobs are hard to find. Most people love the job because it has alot of flexibility and can be a powerful way to reach at-risk kids. However, many teachers are abandoning the field because the tests to qualify for the position are extremely hard in California.

I would find a way to have another subject included in the authorization of your teaching license in case there are no positions open.

Where In The U.S Are The Most Teaching Jobs Available?

We Answered:

There is a high demand for teachers in the southern US states, such as Florida, Louisiana, Alabama, etc.

Some western states with growing populations are also a good place to look-- like Nevada and Arizona.

Jobs are difficult to find in northern states, especially in the suburbs. You will find that, even in the northern states, there is also a high demand for teachers in inner-city schools. Try big cities like New York, Chicago, etc. Also try northern medium-sized cities like Buffalo and Cleveland. Beware, though: teaching in inner city schools can be difficult because there are often tougher kids.

My best suggestion, though, is to not only "go where the jobs are", but also think about the quality-of-life. This about the climate you'd prefer and the type of community you'd prefer to live in. Also, when you look at the job market, look for areas that pay their teachers well and have small class sizes.

Good luck.

Should I quit my Teaching Job???

We Answered:

I think the main problem is that you're teaching "in the suburbs of Chicago".
If you're not opposed to moving, trying moving to a small town in the south; maybe Arkansas, Missouri, or Tennessee.
Teaching in a small school (1,500 students or less for K-12) would probably be something you'd really enjoy. My school had about 700 students, K-12, and nearly every teacher got along with every student.
With smaller schools, students and teachers bond and build closer relationships. As long as you're not an ******, you'd probably have a great relationship with both the students and teachers.
Try it out, you'll love it.

Oh, and the cost of living in the south is MUCH lower than that in Chicago. You'd likely make $28,000 - $35,000/year working in a small southern town, but with that money, you could easily afford to buy a nice house, vehicle, and still pay all of your bills.

I paid $50,000 for the house I'm living in. It's a 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom brick house, approximately 1,300 square feet on 1 acre. I've checked around, and seen similar houses in California selling for $200,000. So, the pay may not be as much as in Chicago, but the cost of living will be MUCH MUCH lower.
