Art Teacher- An Endangered Species


So I am looking for a full time art teaching job with benefits....and the works. I have a special education masters and an education specialist degree in special education leadership yet after teaching art for the past 4 years, I now know this is my dream career, and want nothing else.

My husband thinks this wish very foolish in the midst of a depression and the state of the economy, yet, if I am to work, I want to do something that feeds my soul and I am willing to wait it out. I will stop at nothing to get this job. I have applied to all counties within 4 nearby states.  Nightly, I e-mail resumes and rewrite individualized cover letters.  

What I find disconcerting is the few art teaching positions out there. In addition, of the hundreds of resumes/cover letters sent I have gotten back maybe two e-mail responses even acknowledging the receipt of my resume. Each county has at most 3 openings, some, like NYC have none. But my persistence and patience will pay off I am sure of it.

Have to know how to fight

Do you know how to fight? If you care about your relationships dare to practice fighting.  It does not really matter what you fight over.......
