My two cents on teaching (I'm not an expert, but know a lot as it is my fiance's desired profession):
Co-sign with Dee, I've heard it's hard for teachers everywhere. Fiance graduated with a history & secondary education degree. I'm not sure of the amount of applications he's done but it's been a lot. Anyways, he only had one interview, but he did not get an offer there.
He's applied to jobs in state and out of state, as far as Louisiana. We were both willing and able to relocate if he got a teaching job in another state, but even then, he still couldn't find anything. So I'd stay it's still difficult even though we were willing to go where there were jobs.
Also, in his major (specifically history & secondary ed., not just one or the other) there were 40 graduates this year. Last thing I heard from him was that 3 of those 40 had teaching jobs and 2 were out of the country.
I'm very thankful that he was able to find a job in education (although not at a high school) that can offer him almost full time hours and fairly good pay. And because it's only 30 hours per week he still has time to take classes to get his science endorsements, which he will be done with by next spring.
