I so understand the pain and frustration. If you are able to
move to Southwest Michigan, I am positive you would land a
job in Sped. I have a B.A. of Science in Elem. Ed. which
refers to gen. ed. and the interviews contain about 387
applicants, however in the Sped field interviews include
about 5-8 applicants. Good luck!
