Hi

Im startin college next year

Gonna do an Arts degree in French and Latin, then the HI-Dip in Teaching

Was just wondering if there does be generally many teaching jobs goin, when the economy isnt screwed?

I'd be interested teach French in secondary school

thanks!!

While Latin is a JC/LC subject it is a minority subject so would not be of much use to you in the majority of schools. So realistically you would only have French as a teaching subject. Most teachers applying for jobs have two teaching subjects and most teachers are recruited to teach two subjects.

Oh right

I wasnt gonna learn Latin to teach Latin, I just thought it would help with French

The 2 French teachers in my school only thought french

But maybe I wont do Latin if I dont need to

They are plenty of teachers who are qualified in 2 subjects but only teach one because they are not needed to teach the other one. I'm qualified to teach biology, ag science and chemistry yet I've never taught biology since I left college.

But does there be much of a demand for teachers in general, when theres no recession goin on?
