I'm interested in spreading tech knowledge to the next generation and providing a safe area for high school students to be in, just like my director has done with my generation.You don't want a theatre ed degree then. You want a regular BA or BFA in technical design and production. Then you have to find a job at one of the unicorn schools that have a technical theatre teacher.... and those are VERY few and far between.
I did it for 9 months at a performing arts magnet school. Kids were great. Staff was great. Pay small. Time spent there was insane. They also required me to get a masters within 5 years. I was on a temporary teaching cert. I have a BFA... no education classes taken during college.
Getting a degree in theatre ed might be one of the worst mistakes you can make. It does not give you enough in your back pocket to work professionally. The second you decide you don't like what you are doing and want to get out you quickly find out your stuck.
Why do you want to go this route?

Thank you for leting me know that this will be a hard field to get into, I originally didn't take that into consideration.
