	Re: Carolyn Posted by Carolyn on 5/10/08 Aw Thanks Country! Actually, I am not giving up on education or becoming a teacher in its entirety. With the way our finances are, this is a matter of necessity more than anything else. Some districts don't even hire until the end of May or into the school year. I know the second I get a job outside of education I'll have school districts chasing me down -- ha ha ha!! I still plan to check the hiring boards every day and apply where I can. My content area combination is a tough one to match, so I will need to be in the right place at the right time to land a position. Thanks for your support all of you. I know in my heart teaching is where I need to be. But for right now, putting food on the table and helping to pay bills is a higher priority.
