I just finished my first year of college..with a major in math and econ. My career goals for post graduation would be something in the actuarial science field..and I definitely want to teach it at a high school level one day whenever I want to settle down and have kids or something--but now I'm considering going into teaching right afer graduation and certificate work.
To me though, teaching just isn't ambitious enough for me..with little room to advance, and it seems unlikely I'll ever be able to seek the finer luxuries of life--though I'm sure the satisfaction level would be greater than with most other jobs.
What I'm wondering then is what kind of job marketability would there be for a teacher, if I do choose to teach out of college and really let my ambition kick in to something higher--or if I decide teaching isn't something for me. I feel if I just choose to teach after college I'll always be thinking to myself what I really could've been.
So basically, being in California I'd definitely be very marketable with the high demand for math teachers for teaching positions..but what sorts of demands would there be one day for math teachers outside of teaching positions?
And what is life as a teacher like? I definitely know that when I was in high school there were a few teachers I had that I definitely looked up to, and would love to be that teacher one day..forming good relationships with kids and having them come back to visit me..
