Being a Special Ed teacher means more than just thinking about wanting to be one. it is demanding, takes a lot of work, and you will not simply be place one on one just like that. You need to be licensed with a Masters degree in Special Education, which means taking REAL classes and working really hard. IF you are up for those requirements, you will still not m ake a whole lot of money, EVEN when you are on top step, which takes MANY years to reach. I know because my husband was a Special Ed teacher for the Board of Ed for over 40 years, and it was a demanding program when eh first started, and even more so now. You need to really WANT this for yourself, because only someone truly idealistic, will find satisfaction in this extremely demanding career.
