The Future of ESL Teaching Jobs

I joined CATESOL about a week ago along with a couple user groups. There's a thread from one of the groups commenting on budget cuts made at community colleges. Reports are that the cuts at some schools are at 30 percent for Fall 2011 ESL courses while transfer courses are basically continuing with little or no reductions ... or in some cases added sections. Plus, some are reporting that Adult ESL is experiencing very tough times with high cuts or being phased out altogether. I worry a lot (even before this news) that after all the time and money spent on my education that I won't be able to find teaching work.
