I'd say teachers do more for society.
I might not make it into maths though, because I need exactly 6 more points. hopefully, it'll be in lower demand, and they'll make the cutoff lower. otherwise, i'll do hsie =]The problem with teaching is that the average age of teachers in the mid-40s and quite a few of the baby-boomer teachers due to retire within the next 4 to 5 years on the great pre-1983 NSW state super.
These guys will need to be replaced and you are the kids who will be able to step in and fill their shoes.
Maths and Science teachers are always in demand because many students who are good at these subjects find themselves drawn towards other careers due to a number of factors, including pay.
As a History teacher I say enjoy HSIE - more variety anyway - History, Geography, Commerce, Legal, Business, Society etc are all part of HSIE and even if not teaching them I actually enjoy the discussions in my staff room about the different courses and also some friendly banter with the others about the superiority of History.I might not make it into maths though, because I need exactly 6 more points. hopefully, it'll be in lower demand, and they'll make the cutoff lower. otherwise, i'll do hsie =]
lol what are you doing here Ms. BrameAs a History teacher I say enjoy HSIE - more variety anyway - History, Geography, Commerce, Legal, Business, Society etc are all part of HSIE and even if not teaching them I actually enjoy the discussions in my staff room about the different courses and also some friendly banter with the others about the superiority of History.
Sorry not me.lol what are you doing here Ms. Brame
neither, there is a strong demand for higher level maths teachers and employment for humanity teachers covers a broad range off subjects so occupancy is largewhich would be harder to find employment? maths or humanities (or hsie, social science)?
ANU: B Arts/B Science (Psychology) 80.00but isn't some psycholgy course around 80 (i think macquarie)?
Psych plus a Dip Ed could lead to school counsellor - using the psych and working with kids.Instead of doing a combined teaching degree, do a 'standard' degree i.e. science then you can always go do a dip ed. I wouldn't think there'd be much demand for someone with a psych degree and a dip ed. what will you teach? Do science (psych) so you have the science background (incase you want to do teaching), but still a degree in psychology (if you want to do psych)
Teaching has higher demand for jobs and psychology is becoming increasingly popular meaning less demand
I'd go teaching! Admittedly I do have some bias as I want to be a highschool science teacher.
Sorry if the first par doesn't make sense, I let my fingers do the walking and cbf re reading
Man, i'd die if i was the school counsellor at my old school.Psych plus a Dip Ed could lead to school counsellor - using the psych and working with kids.

'i'm 14 and i had sex with my 23 year old boyfriend now my parents are kicking me out. Why are they so mean *cries*' (non fiction story.)
Not me, you dingbat.Eeewww, gross. You had sex with a paedophile.
Ontopic: The B.Sci( Psych) / Dip. Edu is the most appealing option. You have the option to select Teaching or Psych at the end of 3rd year. Can anyone elaborate further on this. Am I correct? What other benefits might this option have such as mentioned above buy cem to become school counselor as well as teacher.
