Biology and ag science

Stan27

Hi.

Posted before but still lost.

Thinking of becoming a teacher, mainly biology and ag science. I’m hearing so many different opinions on teaching as a career.

Was always something I’d me interested in, but 2 more years in college and no possibility of a job putting me off.

So basically my question is, are there many positions on teaching biology and ag science?


Also where can I find out what subjects there is a shortage in?

Thank you.

There are certainly jobs but they are scarce....like most teaching subjects you need to be in the right place at the right time...we have had a few people get CIDs in recent years by just being lucky when they arrived on staff (obviously they were a good fit for the school too)

Ag Sci not on in every school. Think there’s a good few Biology reachers out there too. You’d have to teach Science as well. You’d probably get a job in Dublin alright but you might not have the money to eat 3 times a day.

If you could add Maths into the mix, or Irish, you'd be on to something.

About half of schools offer Ag Science. I'd imagine all schools offer biology. It's a decent combination.

There would be more schools in rural areas/small towns offering ag science than in cities for obvious reasons.
