At the moment, the Golden State has the most number of openings for kindergarten teaching jobs. They also pay teachers way above the national average, so you know it is obvious they passed two out of three criteria. The only downside is their high cost of living index. You would probably have to reduce the number of fancy dinners and shopping sprees to sustain a good life here. Even so, the fact remains that the demand is highest here, so it’s still worth it for sure.
