Are you job hunting?
Thinking about it. Actually, been thinking about it for awhile.

I'd like to find something on this side of the Hudson...so I don't have to go into the "big, bad city" anymore. Most days are fine, but all it takes is something happening (ex. the most recent radiological threat) and I just worry all day at work. :( I know it seems silly, but I find it on my mind alot when I'm in the city.

Plus...I really just don't know if I'm cut out for this field. Finance has never been my thing, but that's where the $$ is here. It's been interesting to do something different and I know I've learned alot. But I really miss working w/ kids...I miss being fulfilled with my job. Problem is, I never finished my Elementary Ed. degree...I majored in it for 3 1/2 years and then had a horrible student teaching experience, switched and got an Associates Degree in Travel (this was after I did CP and, at the time, my goal was to get experience and eventually go back down to Disney...then "life" happened :rolleyes: )

SO...I'm sort of limited to Preschool teaching and I know I would have to take a HUGE paycut if I were able to get hired on somewhere. Since Adam & I have lived together for over a year, I would be able to have health insurance under his so that would help. Plus I would be saving a ton of $$ on commuting. We would just need to figure out if we could swing it. Especially with hopefully paying for a wedding in the next year. :king:

The kitchen and breakfast area (there's a dining room besides this - I took this picture standing in the doorway to the pool area. The living room was to my right from there.

I totally understand that - I'm job hunting too to pay for DS' college, but I really don't know what I want to do. I was happiest when I was taking care of little ones, especially my own, but the pay for that kind of work is pretty pathetic!

She probably wants something.



In that case, can I be "splendiferously brilliant"?

Absotively!;)

Welcome Janni. I am Susan (the worrier)
Hi Susan! Worrying about anything in particular?

Verra nice, all your pics. It sort of looks like my house. We are changing ours up a bit now as the kids are getting older. But you have a much nicer pool.

This is just one that we rented for a week last year - my house is about the size of that pool.....

Especially given how important it is.

Hello all.

Hello Stephanie, I was just reading what you had written. I know you had a bad experience student teaching, but maybe you would be interested in trying again. How much credit are you short for yearly childhood education? Can you finish up threw on-line credits. Maybe much to do, but if that is what you want to do, it's easy to get it over with instead wishing you should have finished.
Granted, everyone in here has regrets in life, but when it comes to something that could make you happy or just doing something that has no fullfilment, I would go with making me happy.
I am back to school again. Only taking 3 courses. But I have a goal and was waylaid for awhile, but now I am back on track and can't wait to finish up.

Just my two cents, but goodluck in your decision.

I was lucky enough to work from home for the first 10 years with the kids. I now work as a nursing assistant/patient flow coordinator in a pediatricians office. I have never had any desire to be in the medical field and not sure how I got here.:lol:

Thinking about changing jobs too. Wish I kew what I wanted to be when I grew up...

I had a student teaching experience from HELL. On the last day, she called me socially inept, immature, and asked me if I was on medication because I stood there taking all her crap. She "generously" gave me a C+ for the course, only because she didn't want my not graduating hanging over her conscience.

Fast forward to now, I have a job as a 6th grade English teacher, and I've had to turn down 9 schools. She had told me if I followed her advice and went to a private school, she'd recommend me. I got the job at my school without her help...so basically it's all a big "eff you" for her (sorry :lookaroun)

I hope you find what you're looking for. And frankly, the other rewards far outweigh the money problems...but I do hope it changes anyway :lol:
