Job Hunting

Well I am trying to find a job but whoever imagined that it would be as hard as it has become. Maybe I am just tooooo picky but I am bound and determined to find a job that also allows me to spend the time with my kids that they need.

I have had several job interviews with good companies, Albemarle Boats and Blackwater, but they can not pay me enough to cover the cost of taxes, gas, and childcare. If I onlye had one child in daycae it would not be that bad but when you have to pay for two in daycare you are looking at about $12000 annually for childcare.

I am also looking for a job that is part-time so that I can finish my masters degree. I want to enroll in Strayer University and I will be able to get my MBA in one year taking 3 classes a quarter. My ultimate goal is to be a professor at a Community College or maybe if the right opportuinity appeared a university. I have even looked at teaching adjuct classes @ TCC just to find something that provides some money for us. The problem with this is that the distance of travel is questionable if it is beneficial for the amount of money.

I have tossed around the option of going back to work @ Albemarle School just because the childcare is relatively cheap. I enjoyed the job when I worked there previously but the pay is not all that good. Although when you look at the savings on childcare it might be worth the chance. I have talked to Mariah's dance teacher, who works there, and she said that there could be a good chance of getting my foot back in the door.

Sooooo, I guess that I am off to refine my resume one more time and write a letter of interest and send it to Albemarle School. Wish me luck on the job hunt and the schooling ahead!

PS I will be writing later after I get my thoughts together on some issues we are considering to leave the area. The job market is better in other areas. Keep us in your prayers for the decisions we have to make.
