Jobs for Change

Thinking of a career in education, or already working in the field but looking for new opportunities? Or are you looking to fill an education position in your school or company? Then by all means, check out Change.org's new Jobs for Change feature (education-specific job postings here). It's been a long time in the making, and if you're currently job-seeking, its listings and its career advice blogs are worth keeping an eye on.

To help us grow the campaign, please sign our “Vision Statement,” and then grab a badge from the right side of the page and put on your own blog as an “Ambassador” of Jobs for Change. (You can also embed a Jobs for Change widget on your own site to spread the love; find it by scrolling to the bottom of the main page.)

If you're looking for background information on long- and short-term prospects for jobs in the education sector, a good place to start is the Bureau of Labor Statistics' "Career Guide to Educational Services."

The site has exhaustive information on practically any question you might have about working in the field, from growth projections to salaries and working conditions, as the site's table of contents shows:

  • Nature of the Industry

  • Working Conditions

  • Employment

  • Occupations In The Industry

  • Training and Advancement

  • Outlook

  • Earnings

  • Sources of Additional Information

Beyond that, I'll just say that education is a tough but rewarding field - anybody who thinks teachers have it easy has clearly never taught - and as importantly, it's more stable than many fields out there. I hope Jobs for Change helps some of you discover these things for yourselves.
