I just graduated with my master's degree in Early Childhood Education, 2 weeks ago, and it seems like multiple school districts are cutting positions. I thought that teaching was supposed to be pretty stable when it comes to finding a job. I keep seeing school districts cutting teaching positions for the next school year. My fellow graduates and I are stressing out about finding jobs for this upcoming school year. Is this normal in the field of education?

Would that be a terrible idea? (Subbing is not really an option for me because I need health insurance.) submitted by /u/FaeryMaiden982 [link] [comments]
