cities for a young future teacher?
hi all!! I’m currently a student in college (born and raised in TX) trying to sort out some future planning for my life after graduating!! I am majoring in English and am on a pathway to certification for teaching high school (I know I’m crazy lol)
Anyways, I’ve been looking at a lot of cities and have narrowed it down to a few:
1- Chicago
2- DC
3- Boston
Things that are very important to me are:
1- walkability and transit: I don’t want to own a car wherever I move!
2- green space: I love being outdoors and having opportunities to walk
3- gay dating scene: wanting to find somewhere with a good dating scene for young gay men!
4- good for public school teachers: best school environments + im wanting to teach within the city preferably so please consider this!
5- safety is definitely great but living in a higher density area obviously presents the opportunity for more crime, but please feel free to give your two cents!
please leave comments below to help me out lol
thank y’all!!
