My so called crazy life.

[sl_podcast]

Well, here it is nearly 8 months after I was "laid off" and I still have no job. The job postings I have found are either 1) ridiculous in their scope and their wanted amount of experience or 2) free labor (internship, get experience type postings) or 3) lets hire someone who will do it for part-time and for beer money

If I could hire you tomorrow I would!

Wait a sec... ummm ever think about Educational Technology? I could get you in touch with one of my clients, they hire staff developers as consultants. Basically you would go into schools and teach teachers with their classes how to use technology in project based learning. So for instance, you would go into a school and when learning about say the holocaust, instead of reading from a text book and writing a paper, students would use the internet for research and create a podcast, or a movie or a website or something like that. You would teach them how to do this.

Its not full time work (though, those that live in the NY/NJ area have that possibility as most of the work is there), you would be flown to where the school is, given a hotel and a car to stay at/use. It pays a really good daily rate and it is one of the things I use to pay my own bills. I work for them a bit, save the money and use it to pay my bills in the slower months.

That sounds awesome. I don't drive though.

ouch! I forgot about that, yeah, you need to have a license to do this, need to be able to drive from school. to school :( Otherwise it would be perfect for you.

If you ever get a license, let me know
