For teachers in Washington, is it worth starting school to become a teacher?

Career & Interview Advice

From what I’ve read on here, it seems impossible for new teachers to get a job, and it’s hard to know what it’ll be like in 4-5 years when I finish school. I might be open to location to get started, but there’s also a chance I’ll be living on Whidbey Island by then, and need something semi close. I’m hoping the commute to Everett would be doable for a couple years, but eventually I would like to be able to work on Whidbey. I would love any advice! Thank you.

Oh and elementary school is what I’m interested in.
