I found this on the MSN.com homepage and wanted to share it with other teachers-to-be!
Education
"Education is growing at a healthy clip in 2008. The industry added more than 126,400 jobs during the first eight months of the year. Many factors are contributing to the industry's surge. The movement toward universal preschool and all-day kindergarten will require more preschool and kindergarten teachers. A necessity for more special education teachers is the result of a greater emphasis on classroom inclusion of disabled students. To meet the needs of special education and English as a second language students, classrooms will need additional teacher assistants. More high school graduates will attend college and professionals will return to school to enhance or update skills, therefore feeding the demand for post-secondary teachers."

Katie,
Thanks so much for posting this! Finding a job is something I'm sure we have all been concerned about (especially if we want to stay in Michigan). The fact that more jobs are being produced and people are paying attention to education and the great need for it helps put my mind at ease.
This was very uplifting and inspiring to read, I appreciate you posting it. Often times when you tell someone that you plan to be a teacher the first thing they seem to comment on is the job market. It's great to finally hear positive news about our futures as teachers!
