Will i find a job when i graduate?
i am studying to be an art teacher, and i am currently employed at a pharmacy. go figure has nothing to do with what i am studying for, but it does help with my public speaking and meeting new people. it also helps me by being professional, and straight to the point. yet despite that i am scare out of my mind in actually finding a teaching job in the area in which i live. every day i hear of huge teacher layoffs, and huge budget cuts to art programs. today's economy is making it realistically impossible to find any career type job. i am one of the lucky few students that has a job, that could possibly turn into a career. my argument about it is is worst case scenario do i love it enough to stick with it? honestly i love my art more, i love teaching students. not only is it fun and exciting, but you also get to have some impact on a student and their work. you begin to watch your students grow physically and contextually. you get really attached you become their friends, their mentor. i don't get that type of experience at my job that I'm at now. i get angry people all the time because they were once employed and are struggling just as much as i am trying to keep their heads above water. so realistically what are my odds of finding a teaching job in which i love in the area that i live?
