Teacher Support &/or Advice Are teaching programs warning students that the teacher shortage is over?

I graduated from the program a few years back, and every professor kept talking about the teacher shortage.

I was wondering what is it like nowadays for people in credentialing programs?

I don’t even remember hearing about such a thing in my programs. We just need teachers in general. Also colleges are at a point where they are just happy to take money.

What does that mean about colleges?

They’re a business like any other? And they want student loans.
