I.T. to Teacher

Today is my first weekday of unemployment. I'm now officially a kept man. As a kept man I got to sleep in as my wife (AKA "Sugar Momma") went dutifully off to work. Until I find a job I have the title of "house husband." I'll be trying to find some part time job doing something just to keep some more money coming in. We'd be ok on just one salary, but I don't want to make this transition too difficult on my wife or, to put it another way, on me. I've worked in retail before; I can do it again.

I've also thought about substitute teaching at some schools in the area. That would serve the dual purpose of getting me some experience while getting me some money. I've done some looking and it looks like I have to get a sub certification before I can apply to school districts. They use the word "certification" in the loosest of ways. All I have to do is fill out a (1) piece of paper and send them $50 and Illinois will give me a sub certification. Now I have to find a school district that will let me start working as a sub in the middle of the year. Arlington Heights sounds like they only accept new subs at the first of each school year. Hmmm, I'll have to give them a call and confirm that.
