Graduation

[Darth_Rob]

Well the main challenge is finding a job in the middle of the school year, since its rare that a teacher will leave in the middle of the year. I was hoping to get into subbing, but you have to get enrolled with an agency that acts as a middle man, so when a school needs a substitute teacher for the day, they call this agency who calls you. Problem is that thats what everyone else who graduated with an Education degree is doing (where I live there are at least four different colleges that have Education programs, so thats a lot of people), so I dont have an interview with the agency until the end of January. It looks like I'll be going back to retail for awhile until I can find something in the schools...

YOu could give private classes to help kids do their homework. Its a very popular activity over here for students and its decently paid.

Thats true, that is another option I have. I could do some tutoring-esque stuff, or theres also night school or adult education classes. I have a few options.

I make my cash acting as a tutor; inner cit kids need them especially, it seems. Hardest part is just not getting frustrated with 'em, because sometimes they refuse to try to understand after a certain point; they just listen to what you're saying and copy it down.

I once had to explain to 11th year student (ie 16-17 years of age) what a Galaxy was. I could hardly believe people wouldn't know that.
