Re: When It's Finally Over
Posted by ACP on 8/23/08

    I don't think they would have a problem with you getting a job
    in another field. I think you shouldn't give up, because
    schools still have openings and they are in a mad dash to hire
    people. I've had two interviews within the last two weeks, so
    don't give up, keep applying. Once school starts they can see
    if they need more teachers. I know many teachers that were
    hired after school started. I would go ahead and find a job
    so you can make money, but I wouldn't give up on a teaching
    job just yet.
