    Teachers with a passion for teaching are now facing competition from those with a passion for security, (especially as working with securities becomes less secure;->). The world will always need teachers, and I suspect that the increase in those looking for teaching jobs is increasing in Canada and the States too. Teaching always looks easier from the outside than it is when you are actually in a classroom. I'm ambivalent about this increase in interest. "Teaching has traditionally been a more popular career choice during recession - providing security when private sector jobs become more vulnerable." via Stephen Downes
