Well, the economy doesn’t seem to be getting any better.  So many people are looking for jobs, including me.  I’m thankful that I’ve been doing substitute teaching as much as I have been the past year and that I’ve already subbed eight days at the beginning of this school year.  I was talking to one lady recently, though, who just received her alternative certification for teaching math.  She went to a teachers job fair and there were around 1,000 people there looking for work…but only seven job openings for teachers. Needless to say, she didn’t find a job!
