Got some good news today- Andy called me to tell me that his mom's school district has an opening at his very own former high school for a Bio/Earth Science teacher. Oooh. Immediately upon getting home from work, I worked on my online application. 2 to 3 hours later, I'd finished that, and was off to Staples to make color copies for my mini

You're being flexible enough that you WILL get a job. Those that don't get one can blame the fact that they refuse to look anywhere but where they live. I for one am not waiting around here for a job to fall in my lap!

Can you teach earth science? I'm not really sure what your minor is. I had an interview for a math/science position, and they weren't sure if I could teach the science side or not. Science is complicated to me - there are so many certifications. It's confusing.

Hey!

Yeah, I know, it's tricky. But from what I understand, you're highly qualified if you're certified to teach it. The job opening required certification in Biology(DA) and Earth Science(DS?) or General Science (DX), so I count. Plus their annoying and incredibly complicated application asked me to break down my credit hours in certain subjects from college, and I actually have 19 in Earth Science, which is second highest. First highest being Biology of course, at 51. (General Science is 42- includes all Astronomy, Physics, Chemistry, and Geology classes- although I suppose it should include Bio too?) I took a crapload of science classes in college, and I actually do know the most about Earth Science of any of the others I've taken. I had considered getting a minor in Geology at U-M for awhile, before I realized that would take more classes, more money, and more time, for not much real worth...

Anyhow, we'll see what happens... :)
