right now the trend according to the Occupation Handbook it's average
growth for till the point of 2016 where it will probably decline.
Remember too that I can teach political science and psychology that is
provided at most advanced schools. The baby boomers are retiring
starting next year that will open up some teacher positions. History
is a strong assion of mine as well just mainly into specialization
studies. American history is really quite simple and european history
is something that to many other people are going into right now. Maybe
something like chinese or asian history as a whole. Anyways, I am
thinking about becoming an instructor at a community college in
Colorado one of these days.
