By the research, "unemployment rate with a Bachelor is half as important as with a High School Diploma." However, if you read this article you will notice that it's not likely the research. Guess what. Imagine how many candidates apply for seven teaching jobs in Pelham Memorial High School in Westchester County. Although it's not like one of the greatest highschool in U.S.A, over 3,000 people applied for becoming teacher. For detail information, Pelham highschool first cut "with grade point averages below 3.0" and who didn't keep the application deadline. Then, only 200 of 3000 candidates interviewed with school administration. For social studies department not only had interview but also had "40-minute timed essay on the French Revolution". In addition, top applicants will have to "teach a demonstration class" for parents and teachers. The reason why this school is popular since this school pays range from "$50,000 to $134,000" But the main reason is related to economy
recession. This is now " worst job market since the Great Depression". What's the
alter solution? For instance, Jade Stier whom given in the story changed her major to nursing. She couldn't find any benefit for working as "earning $85 a day". Recession in job market is now striking perservice teacher. Hoping that nation's best quality potential teachers to do not lose their dreams.
