My oldest kid graduated with an engineering degree from the toughest engineering school in Colorado, then got married so she doesn't want to move to an industrialized part of the country. Any body who graduates from her program is a mathematician first and a scientist second.

I advised her to go to Colorado Department of Education and get a teaching licence because we need math and science teachers...they have alternative paths to licencing if you qualify. They turned her down because she didn't have the right course work on her College transcript. She took the courses they wanted in high school. She's working as a project manager for a civil engineering company, a step down for her qualifications but she is happy with it.

Being a scientist or mathematician doesn't mean you can teach....and most that I know can't. Education training makes the difference... Other example....being a star baseball player doesn't mean you can manage either....

I am not disagreeing with you about the dearth of science and math teachers...
