My mom went back to work in 1999 after more than a decade out, and they needed SPED teachers so she taught SPED. There was such a shortage that they were totally cool with that as long as she enrolled in night school within a few months. Teaching SPED and getting another degree at her age was not easy, but that's what was available.
BUT...once you teach SPED for a few years, if you really want, you have the seniority move to non-SPED. My mom never did (and she retires today from the Chicago Public Schools!), but a 22-year-old who wants to get a job should really consider putting in the grunt work.
