I've taught middle school choral music for just about my whole adult life until about 1 1/2 years ago. I was teaching for a small private school and when the economy crashed, so did the school. We were all laid off in March 2009. In all my years of teaching, I had never been fired or laid off.....it was devastating.
I've had a few interviews since then, but nothing. Fortunately, my late father left me with a little bit. I'm not rich by any means....receiving about 1/4th what I made in teaching.
At this point, the thought of teaching is a distant one. I'm enjoying my volunteer work and am wanting to see if I can't land a part~time job at the children's hospital. We'll see!
