I don't necessarily know about the situation where you live, but here, there are positions that still have some sort of demand (although not much). Subjects such as mathematics, sciences, French are still looking for teachers. However, those who graduate with psychology, sociology, English, history, etc. don't really have a chance here and often have to teach abroad (in Asia). Elementary (primary) school positions are also hard to come by here. Thus, if there's any advice that I can give to you, try to specialize in subjects that are in high demand if you want to teach high school and try to make connections with teachers, principals, etc. in the school board or school that you want to teach in (since they could be on the hiring committee). Hope this helps. I don't know if they have Concurrent Education programs where you live. It's where you do your B.Ed. "concurrently" with your degree. Some universities admit students who are going into second year. It could save you a lot of stress in your last year because you don't have to worry about applying to teacher's college. Good luck and all the best at university. Well, here in Ontario, teaching jobs are very scarce.

I am in college to become a teacher. I won't graduate until 2011. I hope there are jobs then. I love sharing my knowledge and can't wait to teach. I sure hope so. I am in college to become a teacher.

But the "good" ones will be very scarce this year. I know our principal has already indicated that our district may not be hiring very many "new" hires. You just may have to travel to other areas or look into getting experience in areas that are usually less desirable to teachers (i.e. inner city/very rural). And make yourself shine shine shine. That being said, I think that everything is cyclical - and what comes around goes around and there will be times when there will be teaching jobs aplenty. There will always be education jobs.
