Today, I am jobless after graduation. Ironic, since when I started college with my education degree, I was congratulated, told of the teacher shortage in my state, and how quickly I would be able to find a job. Three years in, the economy tanks, and the state issues a teacher hiring freeze. FML

That sucks OP.
But yeah, its just the american way to start cutting down expenses on education as soon as possible.
(Not trying to be anti-american or anything, its just that my mother and several of her friends had to leave the US to find a job as a teacher for basically this same reason. It wont be the last time that'll happen).

Welcome to the world of teaching in the US. There are a whole slew us that have just graduated or are going to graduate in a few months. What we've been told in AZ is to go towards the smaller towns where no one really wants to teach, because hey its a job. Also, try the absolute low SES districts, they get more funding for being title 1 and can then hire teachers with that money. It will soon turn around because they can't continue to have 33 students in a class and expects awesome test score like they were before.
