Being an art teacher isn't typically a big field, so openings aren't as plentiful. But quality education and teaching are critical to our children's futures, and educating our kids about art is just as important as some of the primary skills. So it's a worthwhile field, no matter what.

PS This forum is a great idea!

avatarAnonymous I don't think art will be as important as some other fields of study, but if u are looking for a job for the money i think that i would go with something else and have art as a minor in college. I would also keep art in my life because it might become helpful later. Go to college for one thing and then come back to college in the future when u have more money to spend on guessing.
