I lurk around these forums but don't really post. I felt this, however, is something I am very excited about. I work for a school district working with special needs students. I work 6.5 hours a day and am employed 9.5 months of the year (excluding summer school, but it is not guaranteed and are only 3 hour days).
I applied and interviewed to be a teacher for the child care department in the district. I was not offered the position, as they promoted from within, but I was offered to work extra earnings in their department daily. This increased my work day to 8 hours. I did this for about 3 months until a position opened within the department that I was interested in. I was just offered the position which is 8 hours a day and 12 months. It is also 5 pay ranges higher that I currently am. I estimate that my income will go from around $28,000 last year to around $50,000!
I am getting married this December and my goal was to find a job that could make it possible for my future husband to go to school full time as he is currently finishing his pre-reqs for nursing. Goal met! Not to mention I should now be able to pay off my student loans (my only debt) off before we get married!
