Hi! Just want to put a plug in for spending time in schools prior to pursuing this. Kids right now are struggling, and I know many art teachers who want to teach art for a love of art and not necessarily for a love of classroom or behavior management. If you've been around schools lately and are still down, then go for it! If you have not, try subbing and see what it's like.

Thank you! I currently work in a daycare/preschool as a TA with small children! Def getting that experience early. It’s a workout but I’ve really enjoyed so far!

Oh perfect. Then I'm sure you have lots of great skills! I just see lots of posts on teaching subs about looking for a rewarding career switch and I'm like nooooo. But preschool is no joke.
