Posted by Miracle520[/QUOTE]

I want to teach history, preferably 11th grade, but I'd take anything. Only thing is, in California, there are like no freakin jobs at all...so I'll be moving. Somewhere.

I've also resolved to myself that I'm going to have to get a PE credential, so I can coach too. I figure that is the only way I'm going to get a job.

and I've always been a bit crazy so I think it'll help. lol.

I agree with you tho, I would much rather teach high school than middle school. I did my initial student teaching with middle schoolers and they just thought they were adults already and the sh*t. I'm sure high schoolers will be just as bad, but I could not take those middle schoolers. Course, I still love em and I wouldn't trade that experience for anything.
