Is there a place that teaches the Japanese language online, and what are some ways to get into an art focused job in Japan? #Spring26
I am a Senior in high-school right now, and I'm going to go to college to study art. My dream is to go live in Japan one day, and either teach art or join a company and be a character designer. The school I am going to attend does not teach the Japanese language, and I am guessing there are very few collages that do. Does anyone know of an online, or in-person Japanese course that is quality and affordable? Also, any tips on getting an art-focused career in Japan? Thank y'all!

Incoming Elementary Major?
#Spring 26 Hello! I'm an incoming freshman. My major is Elementary Education. I was wondering... What are some things that you wished you knew before majoring in education, applying to be a teacher, or even while teaching? And what would you recommend for someone who struggles with self esteem and introvertness. My goal was to be the type of teacher where students can feel supported and heard. Especially ones who struggles in school whether academically or socially or mentally.
How can I get involved in theatre when I start teaching at a public high school?
I'm a college student studying to be a high school teacher and I've always had a passion for the theatre. I was wondering if anybody has any insight on how I can get involved in theatre once I begin teaching. Would I likely be able to volunteer to help out? Should I look for a more professional position? Would it be worth the extra time and money for me to pick up a Theatre minor while I'm in college?
What is the best way to ensure a good salary as a future teacher?
I am a college student studying secondary education (language arts). I know that most teachers do not make the best salary, and I was looking for advice on what I can do to make that salary higher. I know that most schools pay more for teachers with a higher education level. Should I choose to pursue more than a bachelors degree in order to increase my possible salary? Should I try and study other subject areas? Should I look into become a club leader or a sports coach? Or something else entirely?
Should I double major if I plan to become a high school teacher?

How do you effectively balance discipline with an engaging and enjoyable learning environment?
I am currently a High School Senior looking for a degree in music education. I am very excited to help guide the new generation! I love babysitting my neighbors and work as a camp counselor, however, I find that it is hard to find a balance between having fun and being disciplined. If I play too much into the fun, they get out of control and then refuse to listen to me. But if I am too harsh on them they end up not having any fun at all. I want to know how current teachers find this balance?
Would you rather teach middle or high school, or become a college professor?
I am about to graduate college and I am deciding if I want to teach middle or high school, or become a college professor. If you’ve had experience in any, what is the best? #Spring2026
How do I choose! I am a high school senior starting college in the fall as an undecided major. Like many 17-year-olds, I’m still figuring out what I want to do long-term. I’ve always had a strong passion for teaching, but my mom encourages me to pursue healthcare for financial stability, and my dad suggests business administration for similar reasons. We all know most educators are underpaid! Are there areas within education or education-related careers that offer higher earning potential while still allowing me to work in the field of teaching or education? Do I just go with my passion and not cave in to my parents? #Spring26

What type of major is best for teaching high school theology?
Hello all! I am planning on becoming a deaconess and would love to be able to work within a school setting. The program I will be enrolled in requires a Theology major, though I have also heard that an education background is beneficial to have classroom management skills and other teaching knowledge. Would a minor suffice for this purpose or would a double major in education and theology work better? Is there an alternate path to having an education background without actually majoring or minoring in it?
any advice for this?
I'm really interested in pursuing a degree in education because I've wanted to be a teacher for all of my life. I'm worried about how I would manage to make a living though since they really aren't paid well, overworked, etc. (Especially in my state considering it's the lowest paid for teachers) Any ideas of what I should do? I'm wondering if I should just back out and go for something else, but this is the only thing I've wanted to do so... I'm really unsure.

How do I decide on what career to pursue between teaching and law?
#Spring26 All my life I've been conflicted between teaching and law, and now I'm at an impasse. I know that becoming a lawyer will pay much more in the long run, but with how much law school would cost, I'm not exactly sure if betting on the fact that I will stick with law is smart, because if I change careers, then I would end up with all of that debt for no reason. On the other hand, teaching won't give me that much money, but it's been something I've been at least interested in since I was a young kid. I know that the current teaching climate isn't the best, but I'm still inclined to try. I've also talked with a teacher I'm close with at my current high school (it feels appropriate here to say that I'm a senior in high school, going to college for an English Lit degree) who said that if I do go through with teaching, it would be easy to get a job at my highschool to gain experience right after getting my degree, and that they would give me a 5 year window to get my teaching certificate while teaching. She also told me of a current teacher who was a student just like me, who was able to get all of the certifications immediately, so I'm not concerned about that. I would be an English teacher, or maybe a government teacher, or both. Could anyone please help weigh the pros and cons? #Spring26

Question Title: What international career paths are available for a BS Special Education student with a strong academic record Question Body: Hi everyone! I am currently in my 6th semester of a BS in Special Education and I’m looking for some guidance on global opportunities. I have maintained a strong academic standing with a current score of 88%, and I am deeply passionate about this field. However, as I approach my final year, I am becoming unclear about how to take my career to an international level.?
I would love to hear from professionals in the field: Which countries currently have the highest demand or best support systems for Special Education Needs (SEN) professionals? Are there specific certifications (like BCBA or international teaching licenses) that I should look into now to make my degree more portable? Do international NGOs or schools typically hire fresh graduates, or should I focus on gaining local experience first? Are there specific master's programs abroad that offer strong scholarship tracks for students with high GPAs? Thank you so much for your time and advice!
