Re: Anyone familiar with Section 8 housing in S.C. (Good pos
Posted by WillRogers on 7/06/07


    Let's see...in Western PA, --seriously here now-- it is almost impossible to get
    jobs right now, as we are between waves of retirements. In 5 or so years, the next
    waves I am told. Here's how tough it is to get a job in western PA - last year
    Hempfield school district had 83 job openings, and OVER 4,000 YEA-FOUR THOUSAND
    applicants! You can get a job in Philadelphia, but I was told wear a flak jacket.

    South Carolina really needs solid, professional, caring teachers who are willing to
    hang tough until they get established. PA is even tight in the catholic schools. I
    have a 3.86 GPA with straiight A's in my field (ELEM ED) - and I cannot get a job
    around here....but after I read and studied the unions round werstern PA, I would
    not work here. period.

    PLEASE COME TO SOUTH CAROLINA!!!!
