I'm looking for a job in the new place we're moving to over the summer. People are trying to be nice and helpful, but some of the suggestions are no good, and then they get all huffy ("well, beggars can't be choosers, so just take anything that's kind of related to what you do") when I don't even apply for the job. I am a high school teacher and have been for a long time. No, I can't just teach a 2nd grade class because I'm a teacher. It doesn't work like that. I am trained and specialized and experienced in a particular age group and I can't just go and work with a different age group. It's not the same skill set at all! Also, it kind of smacks of the old canard of well, how hard can it be to teach anyway. Somehow, I doubt anyone has ever told a doctor looking for a job "well, I know you're a gynecologist but you should totally apply for that cardiologist job. You can't be too picky these days. What's the big deal? They both require a medical degree and they both end in -ologist!" Anyway, just feeling really Banging head

right now...

oh I HATE that snotty attitude about teachers---- if you teach, you can teach ANY grade because hey, it's JUST teaching.

BLEAHHHH!
