Hi... HELP... Current teachers, your advice and insight would be appreciated... I am older and looking to move into the education field as a new "empty nester" career. I spoke to NTEC, who claimed that I could quickly receive a conditional teaching certificate and begin teaching while I continued my studies for full certification. They pushed me away from K-thru-4th grade (my preference) and into Special Education... claiming finding work would be far easier. Now, having read a few threads on this web-site, I question my ability to find a Special Ed teaching job... and my ability to adjust to what sounds like a terrible workload and work environment. Anyone out there with hands on experience in Special Ed?... THX, Jim
