“Should I Make a Mid-Career Change Into Teaching” is probably a better question. Before you jump into the many ways to enter teaching, you should consider if there will be a place in other words job for you after you get the education and certification. STEM and special education positions are fairly plentiful. Many others are really places reserved to park football and basketball coaches till 3:00 practice starts. Maturity and real world experience are not particularly valued. Unfortunately, public education has drifted into public babysitting followed by sports activities (the only reason many students show up at all).
