In light of the perceived national need for more science and math teachers. this study was conceived to: 1. 2. 3.Identify "teaching oriented" students among freshmen at a mid-western sngineering school, who have chosen NOT to become teachers:Find out what reasons these "potential" science and math teachers have for deciding not to pursue teaching careers; Determine what amelioration of these problems would be necessary for them to no longer be factors which would inhibit students from becoming teachers.Of a random sample of 110 students drawn from a freshman class, 98 participated fully in the study. Each participant took Holland's Self-Directed Search to determine "teaching orientation" and author-constructed instruments to assess their concerns about teaching.Results showed "teaching oriented" students avoided teaching due to low starting salaries. lack of job security, low maximum salaries, not wanting to do the work teacher's do, poorjob availability and discouragement by family and friends. Starting salaries of $21,693 and salaries of $32,600 for a teacher with a B.A. and 10 years experience were among the changes deemed necessary to make teaching attractive.
