ive decided what i want to do but now im scared.
17/f. After my senior year, I plan to attend university to get my bachelor's in elementary ed. I love kids and at church, I teach a class at my church. Yes, I've asked a question before about college. Most people usually don't know what they want to do so I should be overjoyed that I believe I found what I was created to do. I know teachers don't make a lot of money but all the teachers I know and had are doing pretty good in life. There are so many pros to being a teacher, making friends that will last me forever because I plan to work with them forever, weekends and holidays and summers off even though I hope to get a part time job over the summer and weekends to get extra money, being able to show my personality by decorating my own classroom and hopefully being the slightest bit of an inspiration to kids my teachers were. However, my only concern that is kind of freaking me out: not finding a job as a teacher. Teachers are vital, that's a job that will always be needed but I am so scared I'll go through college and never find a job afterwards. How do I calm myself down after these thoughts and will there be more chance that not that I will find a job at a school?

Actually teachers make a lot of money. Its sort of a myth that teachers don't make good money - especially when you consider they work less than 10 months a year. Their benefits are better than any job you could fine in the private sector. You are choosing not only a fulfilling career, but a lucrative one as well. That's awesome! Don't look so far down the road. Concentrate on what you can do now - which is going to school. You've got at least 4 years before you need to start worrying about a job, and many graduates find jobs with the very schools they intern with, so you will be making great connections and learning about opportunities. Tomorrow will take care of itself, worry about today. you will be just fine. You will do great!

To become a teacher, you do four years at university - I think you're american so college to you - an then you have at least a years probation after that. So your garenteed five years of teaching. By the time you've done the the economy will probably have changed and there will be lots of jobs for teachers again. so stop stressing, you have loads of time before you have to start thinking about that.
