[quote=jstoesz]are you kidding…there are tons of recent college grads falling over themselves for teaching jobs…
I have some friends (a couple) who graduated and got credentialed at Cal Poly SLO, they had to move to the outskirts of Visalia (ghetto) to find a teaching job…
Entry level teaching jobs…any teaching job is a highly sought after and very competitive job. For reasons of pay, free time, and a feeling of nobility…[/quote]
Are all these new college grads credentialed, jstoesz??
Perhaps your teacher friends just starting out had to take their first jobs in Visalia because in the high-cost desirable areas of CA, many mid-career teachers (20-30 yrs exp) don’t feel like they can afford to retire, even if they wanted to.
