Thanks! I want a job teaching. I currently work in a high school as a glorified tutor (that's seriously how I feel) without so much as a job description and really crappy pay. I hate the lack of structure. It's way more running reports and compiling data than teaching which wasn't what I was told during my interview. So frustrating.
ETA I run our 2 hour after school tutoring program which is where the student contact comes in. The other 6 hours of the day are usually pointless.
Where abouts are you? I also teach and around here they are hard to come by. We were told in TC that if we wanted a job we'd have to go West, North, French, or Overseas. (I went French)
SE Michigan. I only just got my degree a little over a year ago so I might be being impatient. I just feel like there should be more to apply for. I would feel better if I was able to at least apply to some jobs.

Try to find permanent substitute positions. I was forced to do that this past year and I have my master's in education and I teach science. It sucks, but it gives you the teaching experience, gets your foot in the door, as well as some awesome recommendation letters.

Yeah around here (Ontario) it's typical to spend 1-2 years substitute teaching, then anywhere from 4-6 years in long term contracts (10 month positions so teaching the full year but you have to job hunt each summer). Most people finally get a permanent position 5-7 years after graduating. Not to be a downer, just shedding some realism lol the process speeds up if you have French or spec Ed. I'd recommend doing to additional qualification courses - that might help.
I'm working from home and watching A Haunting. I just realized that I'm kind of uncomfortable with the current story. They're basically saying that their child was being haunted by a demon who was making him do horrible things. A part of me is sitting here wondering if this is a "haunting" or if the child possibly has a mental illness.
Thanks acorn99, youdontsay, Rama, nerdykitten, and @pennygirl2013! I'm such a wimp when it comes to pain. I know I've probably just built it up to be worse than it actually is.
ETA: damn your tag Rama! I always want to type ramaholic.
My dad called to tell me that when he stopped by McDonald's for lunch there was a woman ordering a 'plain cheeseburger'. So after questioning her to make sure she wanted JUST a cheeseburger, the worker got the woman her food. She went to her table, opened it, came back and flipped out.
Because there was CHEESE on her 'plain cheeseburger'. She wanted a cheeseburger without the cheese. My dad said someone else standing in line said, "oh, so you wanted a HAMBURGER"

I subbed for 4 years. I never got a permanent job in the schools, but I do teach as part of my job. Education is a rough field.

I probably would have said the same thing. LOL
LOL I know.
My dad said the employee didn't act at all annoyed or confused. She just apologized and said the correct order would be out ASAP. He was like "do you think they get that a lot?" I told him probably yes and a lot of other stuff.

Speaking of McDonald's - I thought this "secret menu" was interesting. (Although McDonald's later disputed its existence) Personal favorite - the Mc10:35, an Egg McMuffin with hamburger patties.

I had a friend who worked at McDonalds, and another who worked at Taco Bell and the definitely formed "secret menus" - but they are, I believe, more regionally established by local consumers and workers. McDonalds itself would hopefully not call a sandwich a "McGangbang"

Quoted myself, get ova it.
I worked in a coffee shop and heard some orders for drinks that were likely made up at some point and have become a normal thing "Dirty Chai" "Shot in the Dark" "Red Eye" etc.

My CW told me he was going to get a McGangbang for lunch just because it sounded fun to order.
Did you read one of the comments on the page where someone tried that? I think only some McDonalds employees are privvy to the menu, it's a roll of the dice if you get someone who knows what the hell you're talking about. If they don't they might think you're sexually harassing them.
Point of the story - I'd be careful and have the menu on your phone in case they think you're a weirdo.

I have worked in management for McD's since 1999 (only to help occasionally now) but there aren't special items. In general you can get whatever you want, however you want it, as long as you are willing to pay for it. But there isn't a secret menu.
Hello everyone! I have been in management meetings all morning which has been super fun. I was told that I need to start showing up at 8am instead of 8:30, so I can set an example to the rest of the employees. Of course that makes so much sense... that 30 minutes is definitely the difference between and an unproductive and a productive day

I remember back in the day when Atkins was all the rage, they were more than willing to accomidate my no bun cheeseburgers more than any other restaurant.

Try to find permanent substitute positions. I was forced to do that this past year and I have my master's in education and I teach science. It sucks, but it gives you the teaching experience, gets your foot in the door, as well as some awesome recommendation letters.
What grade level/subject are you looking for?
Yeah I've thought about doing that but I'm nervous because the job I have now is much more permanent than long term subbing and better money than day to day subbing if I end up with no long-term subbing positions. I don't want to give up my current job and have the chance of being forced to do day to day subbing. I hated doing that.

ETA I'm certified to teach 6-12 English
unfortunately with the field the way it is now, you have to sacrifice for a bit to get the position you ultimately want. GL!

I have a CW in the same position as me who is certified in Social Studies and he's been looking for a full time teaching job for about 4 years. He's done long term subbing, day to day subbing, and now this job. I'm afraid that's going to be me too.

Yeah I wish I could tell an 18 year old me to choose a different career. It's rough in the education field.
ETA I told H that if I don't find a full-time job this year, I'd like to save up some money to start either a Masters program or to take some classes toward a second core endorsement (I currently have English and Psychology endorsements). I think it would definitely give me a better chance of finding a job but I dread taking out more student loans right now.

Yup that is (was) my certification too. I'm actually pretty happy with my job. It's less stressful than a traditional teaching job and fairly flexible. I DO miss working with kids though.

Wow....just wow. I mean I order a plain cheeseburger but I WANT the cheese on it. Otherwise I would order a plain hamburger.

for sure, I am glad that our professor was so straight up with us about it. We had two people drop out within a couple weeks when they were hit with the reality check of what the job availability was. two more after the first placement. Out of the 20ish graduates (small program) 5 went overseas, 3 out west, 2 of us in Ontario, 3 got contracts straight out (french), and the rest are all subbing/smaller contracts out east still.
