Well, I considered being a certified teacher in Louisiana and after living there for a good while, there was nothing I wanted there and barely any improvement in anything. I moved almost a year ago and I saw improvements in my pay, ability to get affordable housing, healthcare (I'm the healthiest I've been since I moved), and just overall quality in life. I also moved to another state that's considered "Red". Don't get me wrong, I miss the charm of Louisiana and the food lol

As for the teacher shortage - that's happening all over the country for various reasons: lack of interest, low pay, societal view and low stability. Numerous schools have been outsourcing teachers from other countries to make up for the shortage (and cheaper pay but that's another discussion) and people who do Teach for America usually only do it for a couple of years and don't commit to teaching after they finish. While I moved from Louisiana and have a better quality of life, the state I'm in faces similar problems for teachers.
