Generally, Teaching positions are hard to get in the area and there is a hiring freeze in Bethlehem School District. I know people that have been working as aides and subs for years, just hoping to get a classroom position anywhere in the area and they are certified in PA. The certification is a whole other issue.

Pennsylvania Teacher Certification: How to Become a Certified Teacher in the State or PA | Suite101.com My daughter is a teacher and about half of her friends that graduated with an education major (and certification) are teaching and the rest are subbing. She graduated college in 2007.
