First off, I wish you only the best in your job search!
Secondly, have you not figured out the job situation for your
self yet in WI??? When you apply for one teaching position
along with 500 other applicants, are you telling me you don't
know what your chances of getting a job are??? Go look at the
job postings on wisconsin.gov+jobseekers. Unless you teach
cross categorical sped and want to teach in some northern WI
outpost, your opportunities are very slim.
I may be wrong, but I think you want someone to tell you that
it will be alright and you will get a job in WI. Listen to
your boyfriend, he is just being realistic, leave the state.
Now, I taught in WI for twenty years, born and raised, still
own the family farm by Mauston. I can help you get a job in a
very high paying, cutting edge district in GA (read the post
on "Maybe WI teachers can figure this one out?")
Our district here pays $40,000-$85,000 and is half the cost of
living in WI. Fortune magazine listed it as #4 on best places
to live in the U.S. etc, etc
If you need help, e-mail me at georgiabadger@hotmail.com
My wife and I currently teach here in Gwinnett county and we
LOVE it!!!!
