Former KVIA-Channel 7’s Paul Cicala has been heading to his hometown of Tucson, eyeing education as a possible career change.
“My passion has always been teaching,” he said in a video on his Facebook page while attending a job fair for the Tucson Unified Independent School District.
Sikala commented on the job market, wishing everyone in a similar situation luck in finding their next opportunity.
“It’s a little scary that there are so many people looking for jobs. I know teachers are very important in society and unfortunately, as you can see, there are a lot of people looking for these job opportunities. I wish them all the best,” he said.
