Outlook
This career is expected to show little to no growth. The number of students enrolled in school is expected to increase. However, budget cuts have forced school districts to close or consolidate schools. Job prospects also depend on location.
Preschool and child care centers administrators will experience growth as the number of preschoolers is increasing. People also value early childhood education more.
Many job openings for education administrators will occur as people retire or leave the job for other reasons.
