I‘m a senior trying to decide a career choice. I‘m currently in ceramics but this is my first year ever taking it. Would you recommend the career as a ceramics teacher?

She became passionate approximately pencilsand she or he would sniff clay. She wasn't astounding the two. a authentic loon
In my experience, there are very few jobs for full-time ceramics teachers. Your ceramics teacher might get to teach ceramics and pottery all day, but this is rare. Most art teachers are able to teach a variety of the artistic areas: drawing, painting, ceramics, textiles, etc. Also, the certification (for your teaching license) would probably not be ceramics. It would probably be Art K-12, or secondary art or something like that. You can search your state's department of education web-site, or ask your ceramics teacher what he/she is certified in. I would also suggest taking the college classes to get certified in at least one other core subject (English, social studies, math, science.) Even if you're not tremendously strong in the academics, you would probably feel comfortable teaching middle school in one or more of these subjects. Teachers - especially elective teachers - can gain a measure of job security by being able to teach an academic class when needed. Teaching is a great field, especially if you teach something that you love. I encourage you to investigate this career path. Just make sure you are employable when you leave college! .
