HIGH SCHOOL TEACHER: NATURE OF WORK
High school teachers help prepare students for life after graduation. They teach academic lessons and various skills that students will need to attend college and to enter the job market
HIGH SCHOOL TEACHER: WORK CONDITIONS
High school teachers work in either public or private schools. Generally, they work school hours, which vary somewhat, but most also work evenings and weekends to prepare lessons and grade papers. However, most do not teach during the summer.
HIGH SCHOOL TEACHER: EDUCATION Education - Most of these occupations require
graduate school. For example, they may require a master's degree, and some require a Ph.D., M.D., or J.D. (law degree).
Training - Employees may need some on-the-job training, but most of these occupations assume that the person will already have the required skills, knowledge, work-related experience, and/or training.
Experience - Extensive skill, knowledge, and experience are needed for these occupations. Many require more than five years of experience. For example, surgeons must complete four years of college and an additional five to seven years of specialized medical training to be able to do their job.
HIGH SCHOOL TEACHER: JOB OUTLOOK
Employment of high school teachers is projected to grow 6 percent from 2012 to 2022, slower than the average for all occupations. Overall growth is expected due to declines in student-to-teacher ratios and increases in enrollment. However, employment growth will vary by region.

require training in vocational schools, related on-the-job experience, or an associate's degree.
