Becoming a teacher
I am a freshman in college and I plan on majoring in Elementary Education. I have noticed that there are many people in my campus that are majoring in the same thing. After I graduate I know that there isn't going to be enough room for the couple of hundreds of students that graduate majoring in elementary education. My question is: Will there be room for me? and What should I do to make myself look better?

Trust me, there is always room for teachers!
I plan on majoring in secondary education (I want to be a high school math teacher) and I just recently had a meeting with my guidance councilor.
There may be hundreds of people that will be in your graduating class and major, but as long as you're a hard worker and keep a positive attitude and such you will have no problem with getting a job.
There are new elementary schools being built constantly. The worst that could happen is that you may have to move to find the right school for you. That's not too big of a deal though.
So, to answer your questions:
1. YES, there WILL be room for you!
2. When you apply to different schools make sure you show enthusiasm and show them that you would truly love to be able to work with their students. If you are called back for an interview then dress properly - business casual is usually okay. Don't sound too nervous, it's not hard to pick up on a lack of confidence. Know that if you don't get that job it won't be the end of the worl. Knowing that helps you to relax, feel more comfortable, and do a better job.
Stay positive and have fun!
