What jobs are in demand working with children?
I’m planning on attending grad school next fall, but I can’t decide what to get my degree in. I was thinking about Speech Language Pathology or Education (I would like to work with elementary school aged children). I’m not sold on either one, but I feel like I need to do something and get going with my life! I have a BA in Communications already.
What are good jobs that are in demand where I can work with children?
Thanks!
Teaching especially math, reading and special education. Look for a local education program in a college near you. Then call and ask if they have a certification program to become a teacher. Many colleges are doing 1 year programs to get you certified and into the classroom quickly. There also may be some online programs. Good luck!
Pediatric nursing or speech pathology. High demand!
Teaching is a great thing to get into. There is always a demand for good teachers no matter where you live. Since you already have a degree in Communications, you could become an English/Reading teacher. Have you ever thought of maybe trying Early Education and working in child care?
I know for education, Special Education teachers are always in demand. There is such a shortage of any kind of teacher that really no matter if you teach Elementary or High School, you will find a job.
