How long have you been teaching? Was it difficult to find a steady job? I live in Canada and I'm going to start working on my BA in French next year, as I want to teach it up here, but I've been told by just about everyone that because there's a surplus of teachers, it'll be forever before I can find a job.

You could move to Sweden to teach. Teachers (especially in foreign languages) are very sought-after here and the programmes on the universities always have open spots. :( It's quite sad and it mostly comes down to bad salaries. It's a long and tough education and you simply don't get paid enough for people to actually bother with the education. Bleh.

I'm one of the few who does, though, and I couldn't think of any job I'd rather have. I just love kids and teenagers. I'm looking in to specialize in teaching kids with special needs, such as autism and ADHD.

It's weird to hear that some countries have a surplus of teachers when the situation is the complete opposite here. It's said that if it keeps developing like it has the last few years there won't be ANY newly graduated teachers in 2032. :o

That's actually really interesting O_o And it's certainly a real possibility. And I know the weather wouldn't be very different from what it's like over here :lol:

I think I'm going to add that to my list of things to seriously consider. The only problem would be the fact that getting into teaching programmes and teachers' college over here is very competitive, and I think that at seventeen I'm a bit young yet to be leaving home and studying full-time elsewhere, but that's a really, really good idea.

Of course, now that you've given me this idea, I do expect you to tell me everything I'm going to need to know ;) Are the guys cute in Sweden? Hehehe...
