[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 60351, member: 1550"] This thread is interesting. My brother got a Masters in Math, and worked as an Actuary for twenty years. He has Crohn's Disease so he wanted a job with less hours (he never married, doesn't own a house so he already has enough money for life, and just wants to keep busy rather than go on disability). One of the SD's in NJ was hiring math majors, WITH A BONUS, to teach high school. He got the job WITH A BONUS. He has never taken even one education class, nor does he have to. He's been teaching kids with math problems for years now, and, according to HIM...lol, is known as a very good teacher. The SD loves him--this I do know. He has no trouble with the kids, in fact he's good with the harder-to-manage ones. They come to him after school, sometimes to discuss their problems, sometimes for help with school work. Fair or not fair, life itself isn't fair and he really loves teaching, I guess. I may have some of the details wrong here because I know nothing about teacher qualifications and don't live in the state of NJ. I do know my brother had no trouble getting hired, even with a serious medical disorder and being in his middle 40's. They have to be desperate. [/QUOTE]
