- cousin_it 17y agoThe teaching option is certainly available for arts and music, I'd guess moreso than for mathematics.
- pmichaud 17y agoYou'd guess wrong -- there is an over supply of art teachers, and under supply of math teachers. If you are in math, you can get a job teaching. If you are in art, you probably can't get a job teaching [art].
- emmett 17y agoThis is probably a strong indication we have an oversupply of artists!
- alexkay 17y agoMost likely because the barriers to entry is lower than in mathematics. Everyone and his brother think they are "artists".
- cousin_it 17y agoI was talking about absolute numbers (sorry for not making that clearer), so your assessment is correct without contradicting mine. The oversupply of arts teachers probably consists of ambitious people who hope copyright will make them rich. Abolish copyright and the teacher/student ratio will likely drop to the math level.
