Jobs???
What makes you think there will be jobs???
That, I think is another advantage of an education degree. Even if you think we will be able to reverse some of the wild spending sprees of government, there is almost NO political will to cutting back education spending for K-12 (there is some for college-level).
Since education appears to be deeply ingrained as a fundamental right for all children, and since we have at least a stable population of children, and maybe still a growing one, the need for teachers will be constant.
And you don’t lay off teachers in a downturn, because you don’t shut down your schools.
This is why i argue that teachers should NOT be measured by their salaries, because they have intrinsic benefits like security, job satisfaction, and a lot of free time.
