    I'm studying maths, science and physics teaching and I was wondering how I'd go about getting a job when I'm done! Would I be best off getting a masters in either maths or physics first or should I go straight into working? Has anyone with these subjects found it hard to get a job?

    I would go straight into work. Getting a job is not easy so be ready for a few years subbing. I'm not sure about the demand for science teachers at the moment. Check out educationposts.ie for vacancies. Also the ETB websites.

    I would go straight to working. Maths and Physics are good subject to have at the moment. I know a good few chemistry/biology teachers that are teaching physics at the moment because schools couldn't find qualified Physics teachers. Maths teachers are also doing ok so you should be fine.
    I'm a science teacher (first year qualified) and was working 17 of my own hours this year and have the same job for next year.

    Just make sure you have enough studied to be TC registered in those subjects
