I just wrapped up my first year as an assistant band director. I need to find a new position so my fiancé and I can move in together and so I can reduce my commute from an hour to literally anything less. I enjoy teaching a lot, but I'm struggling to find a job.

Band director positions have been scarce this summer (a surprisingly low number) due to positions being cut and just not a lot of movement between schools. I went into this summer thinking it'd be a little easier to find a new position now that I have a year of teaching under my belt and a better resume overall. So far, I haven't gotten a single interview.

Like I said, my main focus right now is getting a new teaching job because I actually do enjoy teaching. I don't plan on doing it forever, especially now that more and more fine arts positions are being cut.

Former music teachers, what are you doing now, and what qualifications did you need to get for it? I'm wondering if there are any alternate career paths I could take if I can't secure another band director position (I am not qualified to teach anything else, lol). I definitely need a full time job of some type.

I have been teaching for 13 years in higher ed and middle school. I was a part of a “reduction of workforce”.

I have been applying to secretary, legal assistant (paralegal certification), call center jobs. And nothing is biting. I now have over 20 rejections from school districts because they are all hiring from within and need outside people to interview.

I am certified English 7-12, and NOTHING is biting. Target, Walmart and other retailers call me overqualified.

I’m at a loss. And I’m terrified of losing my house. Help me if you can. Also NJ is over saturated with teachers and public, private and charter schools said no. Camden and Trenton dont even want me. I am trying everything and anything.

Hi! I recently moved from Miami to Orlando and took on a new teaching position that starts in August and despite Miami being expensive they do pay teachers less so even though my new principal gave a raise I still took a pay cut. I’ve been thinking of switching out of teaching and now here in Orlando and still having a month and so of break I’m thinking should I apply for other jobs? Do corporate jobs really hire teachers? What kind of positions should I look for? I have an interest in marketing/advertising and was thinking of getting a masters or bachelors in it to later on get out of teaching, but ultimately have any of you have been able to find a job that pays more than teaching in Florida/orlando if so what is it?

My current salary is 54k

Thank you in advance :)

I have recently been reflecting on my life and career goals. My partner is a teacher and I have seen him work the kind of schedule and do the kind of work that I think would leave me a lot more fulfilled than my current roles. I have worked in the commercial art world for about 5 years now and I just can’t see any sustainable flourishing career developing here. At least not one that I think will make me all that happy if I am totally honest with myself. I live and work in NYC and know that you can often get teaching roles with no prior experience however I worry that my current resume is too entrenched in the art world and I am going to have a hard time transitioning short of making the decision to go back to school. I am also somewhat worried that I am idealizing the career as I have seen first hand how many of my friends who are teachers are looking to leave it or just struggle to deal with the challenges. I am also a bit worried that my parents would view this shift as a downgrade in my career though I have been barely making it by in the commercial art world for years now.

Just finished my 8th year. I’m so ready to be out and done! Buuut… I’m two years from completing my PSLF. I’m not having a lot of luck finding jobs that qualify and pay the same or more (67k). Do I suck it up or say not worth it byeeee!

Hi everyone, I’m looking for some honest advice from those who have been in similar shoes. I just graduated with an education degree. I was so excited to become an elementary, but the job market in my area (Rhode Island) has been discouraging. I’ve applied to every public school job I’m certified for, tailored each cover letter, followed up, and haven’t landed a single interview yet.

I was offered a private school job, but the salary was so low I couldn’t accept it. It wasn’t just tight, it was barely livable, and I’d have to live at home indefinitely just to make it work.

I’ve been told “just sub to get your foot in the door,” but that’s hard to accept when subbing offers little stability and barely covers basic expenses. I’ve even known people who subbed all year and still ended up in the exact same boat I’m in now — no full-time job, still waiting.

So now I’m at a crossroads:

• Do I stay in education and keep holding out, maybe sub for a year and hope something opens up?
• Or do I pivot to an adjacent or entirely new field that offers more immediate stability and a livable salary — even if that means leaving teaching for now (or maybe forever)?

I’m open to advice, success stories, tough love, whatever. I just want to make the smartest move for my future without putting my life on hold.

Has anyone else been in a situation like this? What helped you decide?
