bmcha605 asked:


I am currently looking to enroll in a teaching ESL education program, and I am seriously thinking about how good my options for work will be as soon as I graduate. I live in Florida but my husband is in the military so we are constantly moving out. Does anybody know how high is the demand for ESL teachers in USA and particularly in Florida? Any suggestions about things to do in order to get a job in this area once you graduate?

    There are a few jobs in the states for ESL teachers, but it’s usually only good for working in bigger cities with a high immigrant population. San Antonio Texas would probably be a good place to work, as there is a high Hispanic population there. Otherwise, I wouldn’t recommend going for ESL teaching. Most of us who are in college for it plan on going overseas to make our careers. Maybe you should just get an English degree if you want to stay in the US.

    if you can become qualified in both general education and ESL, you will most likely always be employed. there’s a high enough demand for ESL that almost any major city and its suburbs will snatch you up before you can blink. you might not have such luck in rural areas however, so that’s where your general ed credentials would come into play if you ended up moving there.
