Sending prayers your way that your honey finds a wonderful new job and home quickly
Well, time for an update. We are living with one of our daughters in Oklahoma, all of our stuff is in storage back in Colorado, but at least it's safe, and we are safe. No jobs yet, though he has had several interviews. We are broadening our ideas about jobs even more, but he really wants to keep teaching. He is taking a Praxis test next month to get a Science Endorsement for his license, so that he can teach Science, too, and that may bring in new opportunities. He did have one offer, but they were offering about 10k less than what we would need to just scrape by in the area that the job was located! If we already had a house there it might have been different. We are in negotiations with another job, but they too are offering WAY less than what we would need to live there (in Hawaii). So, thank you to all for the prayers, keep them coming, we know that something is waiting in the wings for us, just have to be the right time/place.

Big hugs to you and hubby Dakorillon. I've been in bad places myself and one thing I've learned is that you always overcome them in the end. Have faith in yourselves!

Praying that your dream jobs materialize!
Glad you're okay Sounds like teaching in the states is much less secure than here in oz...I'm lucky enough to have an ongoing position but we still have lots of teachers who float from contract to contract or get by doing casual relief teaching. Do you have any agencies over there that you can sign up with to get part time work? Always seems over here that crt is a good way to get work at a school. I did crt with one of the schools that I eventually got a contract for...don't know if it works that way over there?

It's been a really weird thing. He's going to take another test and get his science endorsement (he has Social Studies/History) and that may open up some more positions, as they are still really pushing the STEM agenda still. Thanks for the idea about substitute teaching, he said he would look into that.
Years and years ago, my brother got burned out with teaching (he was history/social studies & coaching). But a year of working for AAA, and he realized teaching was where he belonged. He got a position subbing for an English teacher on maternity leave. Which turned into a full time position. So he spent the next 30 or so years teaching high school english, as well as coaching. Though a year younger than me, he retired a couple years ago. And I am so envious.
My husband started out an attorney. Did Domestic Violence, Child Abuse, Stalking, Rape, etc. for 13 years. Got bleeding ulcers from it, because there is only so much that the justice system can do in many cases. So, he switched to teaching about 5 years ago. He said it's much more enjoyable, even with "problem" students. But, History, tends to be a bit limiting it appears for finding jobs.
No problem...STEM is big over here also at least with the older grades.
Well, a bit of good news finally.
My husband finally got a job offer! It's not nearly as much as we hoped, so I will be finding outside the home work, too. But, we will be working! We are on a tight schedule, he has to start by the 11th, and we have to find housing and such before then, but it's nice to have a goal to be able to work on.
May be offline once we actually move for a while, since don't know when we'll be able to afford internet after the move, but life in on track towards normal again. It's a nice feeling, even with the rush and things up in the air.
Thanks for all the prayers and good vibes!
