College majors that pay you back (2021)

[sanantone]

Some school districts have started temporarily hiring people with no teacher training, not even alternative teacher certification training. 

It's funny that you say that... I actually just began work as a remote, part-time teacher because of that, despite not having my undergrad yet(expected soon, this year).

Oh, wow!

Like I said roi isn’t only measured monetarily.  Teachers enjoy state benefits and pensions along with weekends, holidays, and summers off, and let’s not forget tenure. That’s the trade off.

Also if their is such a teacher shortage why are there  so many adjunct professors working for peanuts with no benefits and substitute teachers ?  You would think they would be filling these full time positions and the shortage would be with the subs and adjuncts.

I did student teaching in a kindergarten class and college instruction. The older the student, the better. There often is a shortage of subs. Some who work as subs or adjuncts only want a part-time job. Some people work as adjuncts for the extra income.

I don't think most K-12 teachers get tenure. I haven't seen any tenure in my state. Many professions get holidays and weekends off. Some regions mostly have long summer breaks, but other regions have shifted to year-round schooling. I attended a year-round middle school; it was the only one in the district, though. Teachers don't get the full summer break. They have to attend training and prep courses for the year. Also, many teachers report working 10+ hours per day without overtime or comp time.
