It's a shame that teaching is not viewed as a "real" job.

<p>“My son’s close friend wants to be a teacher. He is going to need a full ride to a school. He is going to need a paying job when he gets out. Through some unfortunate circumstances, he became an orphan while in highschool, and he was from an outreach program with a full scholarship from the onset as his family was low income even when they were intact. For him to take on a large debt from a private college that does not have an education program does not make much sense.”</p>

<p>IMO it doesn’t make sense for most students to take out huge debts to attend college.</p>

<p>However, I also would assume that a male, low income orphan who plans to go into teaching would a lot of options through outside scholarships and through need-based and merit-based scholarships connected with public and private universities.</p>

<p>Males are in high demand when it comes to the education field, and thus are at an advantage for scholarships related to education majors. Low income students from challenging situations also have an advantage for many scholarship programs.</p>

<p>Males also are in high demand when it comes to getting jobs in education.</p>
