I need some info on careers??

ok i want to either go into early childhood edu. or nursing and is elementary school teacher the same as early childhood education. i was wondering what classes do u have to take for these careers how long will they take in college. what skills u need to be good at them??? this is just for my own personal interest? so do u think u could help me?

My sister is a teacher and everyone who wants to become a teacher she says have to go to a four year college and pass some type of exam sort of like a exit exam. If you do not you can still teach but you only get like three tries to pass it if you do not then you cannot become a teacher. So good luck because she says it's tough, but it's fun as well. all subjects must be taken to become an elementary teacher she said. but for a high school teacher you only teach one subject which she is a High school math teacher. She's only 23 . She started teaching at 20. She is very smart. She says going to school is fun as well because you get to make friends with people who are trying to become teachers as well. And you can help each other out as well.

Have a look on this site. They have every job, how to get into it, how much you can expect to earn, what is expected of you, and what the working conditions are like.

If you're not from England, it may vary a bit, but it's still really good for advice.

Good luck with your job!! Remember that the more effort you put into getting there, the better the job you'll get.

it all depends on wat grade u want to teach hope this helps

Early childhood education is for preschoolers. To become a teacher for preschoolers you need 2 years in college and you can find all the classes once you enroll in college, classes will probably focus on health, social science, pyshcology, humanities, and art sciences. You have to have patience, speak well in front of crowds, read and write well, and have a master plan in your lessons that you will teach.

From best to worst career decisions, nursing, elementary school teacher, early childhood. Early childhood requires no smarts, it is low paid, but a very difficult job, you must be alert constantly and if a child gets injured, a storm will be coming your way. Elementary school teaching requires less than decent intelligence and is less then decently paid, despite rumours are not in demand, it is difficult to land a permanent position, or get some sort of steady income from temping. The children will no doubt get on your nerves on occasions, can you handle this for the most of your life? Finally nursing, the most interesting of the lot, decently paid, though it is many hours of work per. week, and you need to be somewhat intelligent... Also, you need a strong stomach and hardened emotions.

Contact a local college or university to find out what you need to do to apply for classes to become an elementary teacher. You'll invest 4 years of time, but it's a great career.

I'm certified to teach in Texas.

your best bet in this year is the nursing; It is about a 2-3 year stint in school and you end up with a diploma(2yr) or degree (3yr) that will give you good wages. You also can find a job pretty well anywhere. So your ability to move around is very viable....
For early childhood education you are looks at childcare, which doesn't have a big pay scale. It is usually a year course.
For teaching you need to get your BA then go to teacher's college for a year. The field right now in Ontario, Canada is flooded and it is very difficult to get a job except in remote communities.
There should be a big shift in the work force in the next couple years, as most baby boomers will be retiring and these people are holding a large percentage of full time good paying jobs.
I still think nursing is your best bet.
You will need to take a prenursing program, which includes, biology, chemistry and physics to qualify for the course.
I did mine in night school and it was not bad at all....
Then once in the program your will take different subjects each semester.
I would call the Nursing college or Program in your community and talk to the co-ordinator or get a pamphlet for the course.
This is a totally rewarding career and gives you a steady income and so much flexibility..
