Young men are struggling in a slowing job market, even if they have college degrees (www.nbcnews.com)

Men ages 23 to 30 are discovering that a bachelor's degree doesn't offer the same protection from unemployment that it used to.

Amid a wider slowdown in hiring, the unemployment rate for men ages 23 to 30 with bachelor’s degrees has jumped in recent months to 6% — compared with 3.5% for young women with the same level of education, according to data analyzed by NBC News.

Now, young men with bachelor’s degrees are slightly likelier to be unemployed than young men with just high school diplomas, the analysis found. That’s a recent reversal after decades when young men with bachelor’s degrees had an advantage in the labor market, economists said.

Young women haven’t experienced the same trend; they are still significantly likelier to be employed if they have bachelor’s degrees.

Yeah the private school thing is the only point of contention. I can't decide whether their willingness to hire non-education degrees is a good or bad thing. I'm reasonably confident in my ability to teach (math especially) but definitely lack pedagogy training. I'm taking their willingness to support my certification as a good sign, just concerned about the meantime.

That said, when my options are teaching math to high schoolers or defense sector...pretty easy choice.
