So … I have a choice of going into Elementary Education, or Secondary Education in English. I’m not sure which one I want to do yet. So I’d kinda like to weigh it out in writing … advice is welcome, but not expected. 
Elementary Education
Pro
- I can get with an age group I would probably like to work with.
- Better (read: later) start time.
- Easier to plan stuff?
Con
- Elementary teachers, according to the person I spoke with at the Uni, are not as in demand in this area as secondary teachers.
- Parent drama.
- Ten prerequisite classes to take.
Secondary Education – English
Pro
- I like the idea of being the Cool Geeky Teacher ™.
- Only five prerequisite classes to take as opposed to ten.
- I can assign all sorts of my favorite works of lit for the kids to read!
- Secondary Education teachers are more in demand here.
Con
- Not sure about the age group. Never really worked with that age group before, and I’m not sure how well I could handle their mouthiness.
- A different kind of parent drama?
- Earlier start time. (NB: I hate getting up early, OTOH an earlier start time also could be a pro, cos it means earlier end time!)
- Will have to brush up on all the parts of speech and stuff.
- Secondary Education English teachers are still not as in demand as Secondary Science or Math teachers.
